Achieving Win-Win Agreements in the South Asian Context

During this 3 hour Segment, we will share some interesting case studies of successes and failures in using Win-Win and collaborative processes in South Asia.

Humor in Mediation: A creative Tool or an Indulgence
30.4. 17.00-20.00 / Zentrum für Soziale Kompetenz, Merangasse 12, EG, SR 55.03
This workshop will explore how mediators can bring humour into a conflict environment. Humour can be used as a way to release tension; bring lightness into an otherwise 'heavy' environment; make the problem appear more manageable; and also to help conflicting parties put themselves at ease so that they can re-create familiarity and re-build the comfort in the relationship.
However, using humour can be risky given that there are so many emotional, cultural and power dynamics at play in a conflict situation. Can a mediator use humour irrespective of the nature of the conflict under consideration? How can a mediator use her own skills and personality to find her own unique style of humour? How can a mediator figure out how comfortable he is in using humour as a tool in mediation? Where, in a mediation, should humour never be used?
In diesem Workshop werden Grundkenntnisse zum Thema Mediation vorausgesetzt!
