34 | Western Cape, South Africa | Cape Town | 10/17/18 | Conflict Dynamics | One of our goals in Conflict Dynamics is to advocate for appropriate dispute resolution in South Africa. Mediation Week presents an ideal opportunity to do this. We are hosting a roundtable discussion between mediator provider and training organisations, as well as mediators, based in the Western Cape to hear about mediation initiatives in the province and discuss how we can grow the mediation field for the benefit of all. https://www.conflictdynamics.co.za/CoursesAndWorkshops/Course/50 | Bowmans Building | 22 Bree Street , Cape Town, Western Cape Town, South Africa, 8000 | The mediation field can feel quite competitive, with providers and mediators vying for a limited number of mediations. We aim, through our roundtable discussion, to undertake a serious exchange of views in which we focus on the issues rather than the individuals, and thoughtfully listen to what others say. We believe that there are fewer sources of competition and more points of common interest between mediator providers, training organisations and mediators then we sometimes think there are. We will aim for an exchange of views which embodies the ideals behind the 'mediation and civil discourse' 2018 Mediation Week theme. | Craig Hulscher | craig@conflictdynamics.co.za | |||
35 | Missouri | Columbia | 10/17/18 | Alternative Dispute Resolution Organization | In honor of National Mediation Week, we held an intra-school online dispute resolution (ODR) tournament. Everyone in the law school was invited to participate, regardless of prior experience. Teams were comprised of one or two MU students who then competed against another Mizzou Law team. The negotiation was hosted online using Trokt and, therefore, students could participate at the law school or remotely. Winners were then decided in conjunction with Alternative Dispute Resolution Organization executive board and faculty at the Center for Dispute Resolution.The top 3 teams were then awarded $150 sponsorship to the national ODR bowl (which is also hosted online). http://law.missouri.edu/jd/org/alternative-dispute-resolution-organization/ | Online (Trokt) | 203 Hulston Hall City Columbia State Missouri Zip 65211 | ADRO strives to create opportunities for our members to participate in ADR. This can be done by coordinating with the Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution, continuing to network with leaders in the industry, looking to the community for potential needs we can fulfill, and working with Trokt employees to facilitate the online dispute resolution competition. The recent ODR bowl is just one of the many ways we have advanced the vision of ABA Mediation Week. Students who had not formerly engaged in ADR have now been exposed to ADR processes, and those with more experience have continued to build skills in the field. | Professor Amy J.
