Every year, the EDR Program offers our flagship Collaboration Certificate Course (CCC). The 7-session online course teaches the “art and science” of collaborative problem-solving through lectures, case studies, peer-to-peer sharing, discussion, and simulation exercises. The course is specifically designed for and targeted toward mid- and upper-level professionals working on environmental, natural resource, and public policy issues.

Course participants acquire:

• Awareness and skills to help them effectively harness the co-creative potential of conflict and participate in multi-party collaborative processes
• Techniques that will help them identify opportunities for collaborative problem-solving, as well as skills for convening, facilitating, and sustaining collaborative efforts
• Experience assessing and designing a collaboration effort relevant to the participant’s own work, with the mentorship and guidance of instructors and peer-to-peer support

Upon completing the course, participants receive a certificate issued by the EDR Program. They also have the opportunity to join the EDR Program’s Collaborative Leadership Network, which provides opportunities for continued education, coaching, and peer-to-peer support.

The next Collaboration Certificate Course takes place September 15, 2022 - March 2, 2023; session dates and topics are listed in the table below. Applications are due April 19, 2022.
