Diversity is a global reality today. As a result, cultural fluency is increasingly important in our communities, workplaces, schools, and faith communities. The influence of culture when determining your conflict resolution approach is also an important skill encouraged by accrediting bodies in the mediation profession.

The goal of this workshop is to help you:

•  understand different aspects of culture and diversity
•  explore how experiences of exclusion and inclusion manifest
•  consider and discuss how power, privilege, bias and
   disenfranchisement can impact intercultural conflict.
•  develop your own cultural fluency.
•  promote inclusion and use tools provided to manage interpersonal
   communication and conflict affected by cultural differences.
•  practice skills through an intercultural mediation simulation
