Description:

In a world of diverse cultures, mediators, disputants and attorneys are increasingly confronting the challenges of “difference.” Whether this means some or all parties to a dispute are actually from different countries, or only from different sub-cultures within the same country, the mediation process can be greatly enhanced by awareness of and respect for cultural norms, values and traditions that impact negotiation styles.

In an interactive presentation, two mediators respected for their skills in mediating cross-cultural disputes share their views and elicit yours on cultural awareness, useful frameworks for decoding differences, recognizing bias and cultivating an open mind as critical tools for peacemaking.n
