Transformative Practice: Core Purpose and Key Challenges
This interactive workshop will provide an opportunity to explore the underlying premises of the transformative approach to mediation practice and to address the key challenges it raises in practice. How does a mediators' underlying purpose shape his or her specific approach to practice during interventions? What should a mediation process look like if we assume that conflict is a crisis in human interaction? What third party role and interventions support the transformation of the parties' conflict from the bottom up?
This workshop will address three types of challenges that transformative conflict intervention practitioners often face. Specifically, it will cover: Value challenges – when and why the core commitments of the model are difficult to sustain in practice; Cognitive challenges – the mental orientation and cognitive agility needed to perform the skills of a transformative practitioner; and Communication challenges – the communication skills a mediator needs to enact a transformative intervention.
Hotel Info: please contact Quadra's staff (info@adrquadra.com)
English language and a basic knowledge of the transformative model of mediation are required.
