This facilitated dialogue session will explore
the meaning of culture within various contexts as it applies to the
practice of mediation. For example, culture within (and between)
organisations, areas of practice, social groups, nationalities. The
overall aim will be to identify, through selected exercises and
conversation with the participants involved, strategies which are in
use or that can be implemented in order to assist in the development
of culturally sensitive mediation practices. |
