[Conflict Escalation] Mediator Registry

S Saskia Public Seen by 122

The aim of this thread

Collect people who have the skills and the willingness to either mediate or to teach the skill of mediation to others who want to volunteer for the mediation process between parties in conflict.


Why are we looking for mediators?

Part of the advice process and way we work together is the conflict escalation process. The idea is to proactively escalate a conflict before it can brew and cook and breed new tiny conflicts and grow out of control. The idea is to let a conflict surface and solve it, before it becomes a monster. We have failed the process so far, also because we have a lack of mediators.

'Conflict Escalation - What?''

Please read the following source to get to know more about the conflict escalation process:

  2. Find an impartial mediator, a space holder who can facilitate the conversation. The role of this individual is not to have an opinion on the matter or try to make judgements, but to make sure that both sides listen to one another.

How do I sign up to be available as mediator?

We're currently working on making a proper 'registry'. For now, a post in this thread would be a good start!

Hey @Paco , @Gabor and @Dennis Grzelak ! Thanks a lot for offering! Would you like to edit the threat description adding your name, contact and specifications? Up there, under Jane Doe, by clicking "edit". That way we may have a clear overview of the mediators :)

Also, as Veroca said up there, if you want, you can become a realizer (organizer) of such a workshop, mapping it on Realities. Then you can choose the date and place that suits you better. As a place, the Burner Embassy or the Haus der Statistik are excellent options. Reach out if you need help!

@Paco very much appreciated this initiative. If you are taking on this, would you like to map this on realities (https://realities.kiezburn.org/efbd1777-5e62-47ba-a71e-67ac45586d8a) by adding a Responsibility on the "Conflict Resolution" Need?. You could call it "Run mediator workshops" and sign up as a Realizer. This way we enable volunteers participate while giving some shape to this new Conflict Resolution Need 2020.

If you have some doubts on how to do this see here https://talk.kiezburn.org/d/ME1CNQ7p/how-does-realities-work- or you can also reach me out and I will help you. Thanks for doing this.

If 10 people are interested, I will set up a workshop

Hei Paco,
as usual, offering to be a mediator is a voluntary task. You are free to turn down any request for mediation at any point without explanation. Would you be okay with having your name and maybe a contact (outside of your handle, as you cannot receive private messages here) written in the table above so people know that they can contact you?

Also thanks for your offering of a workshop! If we facilitate something where your input could be helpful, someone will come up to you. If you wish to initiate such a workshop yourself and need help setting the event up, I am happy to help out :)
