Mediation Skills |
|
Format: (face to face, online, both) | Face to face with 9 participants |
Learning objectives: | In this activity, including tryouts through role plays and mutual feedback, the participants learn how to mediate between two or more parties and to help finding a solution acceptable to all parties, by helping to find, visualize and address all the affectors/motivating reasons that are affecting those parties in a certain imagined conflict situation. |
Description: | Step 1: The group of participants is divided in smaller groups of 3 persons each
Step 2: Inside each smaller group the Facilitator assigns a mediator, the 2 other participants in this smaller group receive a prepared note that depicts a certain imagined conflict situation between these two other participants who will play the roles as described in the note. Step 3: The Mediator tries to find and/or propose a solution that is acceptable for the two conflicting parties after discussing all the affectors or motivating reasons that are in play according to the participants playing the conflicting parties. Step 4: This is repeated two more times in order to let all participants be one time the mediator: each mediation session takes 30 minutes, so 90 minutes in total for the 3 mediation tryouts together. Step 5: Debriefing with debriefing questions answered by the participants mutually and for DQ 2 where needed by the Facilitator. (10 minutes) |
Notes for the facilitator/trainer: | You have to prepare in advance a number of notes describing each time a different imagined conflict situation with always two conflicting parties involved in the described conflict, as many notes as there are participants. |
