6 Ways to Mediate Beyond Borders
- If you have expertise in a particular region, country,
language, or conflict, and would like to help, or become a member of a
project team and work in that country for a period of several years, contact
MBB and specify your interest
- If you have training materials in communication,
dialogue, problem solving, negotiation, mediation, prejudice reduction,
conflict resolution, and similar topics that might be useful to people in
conflict areas, especially if they are in other languages, send them to the
MBB Library
- If you have useful information regarding a country or
region where conflicts are occurring, contact MBB and share or coordinate
your information with others
- Select a country or region where conflicts are
occurring, form a small group of like-minded people, or create a local
chapter of MBB to study, think about, and discuss what is happening there
- Organize a public dialogue in your community to discuss
global conflicts, pass resolutions supporting conflict resolution, and
publicize facts and stories that raise people’s awareness
- Contact media to increase awareness of conflict
resolution, write letters to the editor, or op-ed pieces advocating
meditative approaches to conflict
