We are offering a special opportunity for high school students to attend the Negotiation & Leadership Conference 2016 which will take place only on April 23, 2016, at Harvard University. This exciting program for the youth will run concurrent to the main adult program and will feature tailored presentations and activities for the youth designed to equip them with the tools and skills of negotiation, conflict resolution, and leadership development. The program will also include the following:
- Negotiation and conflict resolution training for emerging leaders
- Economic empowerment strategies for career development and entrepreneurship
- Managing difficult situations and people
- Learning to create a culture of collaboration
This youth event is geared towards exposing our youth to the same tools and techniques that academia and corporate America is using in negotiation, conflict resolution and leadership development. This initiative is part of a new blueprint for inspiring our youth in a new way. This opportunity is being organized by the Institute for Negotiation Leadership & Diplomacy (INLD), BUILD and the Harvard Negotiation Alumni Society.

About | Institute for Negotiation Leadership & Diplomacy (INLD)
The Institute for Negotiation Leadership and Diplomacy is a social enterprise/non-profit organization based in Boston whose mission focuses on educational training services in negotiation, conflict resolution, and leadership development for youth, minorities and non-profit organizations. Our core mission is to use negotiation theory and practice to transform the lives of students in high school, particularly those from under-resourced communities. We focus on using negotiations as an economic empowerment tool to equip these students with enhanced skills to help them become successful in their entrepreneurial or career endeavors. Our strategy is based on collaboration where we seek to complement, rather than compete with, existing youth programs. As such, our simple programs are designed to be an overlay or an adjunct to the curriculum or pedagogy that already exists with many established youth outreach programs in the region. Our program teaches students the value of negotiation skills, helping them to become empowered negotiators who are equipped to create economic dignity for themselves and for others as well as to solve the most pressing problems within their communities and beyond. We believe that there will be a transformative effect in our society as we teach negotiations to students. This is the heart of the Institute’s mission.
