Aim
An international conference about mediation, where all our representatives from abroad will be able to participate.
The aim is to trigger out trends and ideas how to improve mediation, to show its universality and usability for a better world, where just a careful treatment of information will be of help. For that we will be looking for marks and trends where mediation has a chance to get there.
Name
Barometer mediation
Subtitle: Why and how mediation becomes the benchmark for society and society becomes the benchmark for mediation. It seems that peope needs a further step of evolution until they are able to think like a mediator and to use mediation for their benefit.
Issue
Though the evaluation of the mediation law in 2018 recommended to not do anything, politicians complain that the ministery acts like recommended. Mediation needs the power of the state is what they claim. Newly in Greek, mandatory mediation was ordered. In Slovenia peolpe intend to recommend so, although the cases not always allow mediation, what will be ignored. Forcing people to what other think their luckinesss is, seems to be the ultima ratio, where mediators want to overcome missing interest in peaceful conflict resolution. In fact the examples we find in policy prove that they are right. Signs what to do are ignored. Perception is selective. Mediation is abused. The conference should work out whether this impression is true, why it happens like that and what to do to get out of it.

On 3.4. 7 pm joint evening event (there is an impro theater in Berlin)
Place
The conference will take place in Berlin.
We will hire a hotel. I hope and suggest that Daniel and Chris will find the best place which is affordable on the one hand and exclusive enough on the other hand
Proposals are
- Hotel Hollywood media (Kurfürstendamm)
- Riu Plaza ...
Language
The conference will be in German and English.
VIPs
A conference is as attractive as the speakers are.
Now my contacts to VIPs is not on a high level. We should try to find a patron
The idea to tailor a concept for the conference asap in order to convince people supporting us.
Ministry of justice and foreign affair should feel in duty to support and participate. I guess this depends on attractions. For that we need good teasers and impulse speeches.
List of VIPs and speakers
Idea: Speakers will introduce their topics on a list that will be chossen by the participants
- Janis Bordans former minister of Justice in LV invited
- Prof. Dr. Tsisana Shamlikashvili (International, Russland) invited + agreed
- Prof. Frank Diedrich (ADR, international) invited + agreed
- Prof. Moti Mironi (Haifa) (International, development of mediation) invited + agreed
- Gordana Riskin (Judge, Mediator, Slovenia), invited + agreed
- Dr. Srdan Shimaz (Judge, commercial court, mediator, president HUM) invited + agreed
- ...
You will see that all the issues are provocative, Again this is brain storming and you are welcome to add and improve.
My idea could be that we give some insights and thesis on a paper and invite people who have other ideas to discuss the proposals.
Style
We have great experience with unconferences. I liked most our world coffee. With Arno I thought about a new style and even suggested that we could invite a new conference style. He proposed to think about ProactionCafe and to ask some graphic recorder to participate. I know www.mentimeter.com as to be a nice tool for polls. In any case we should have and try some intriguing methods and techniques.

Money and hosting
we will invest some money. But the conference should cost some fees also. 2 days could be 150 EUR. For sure we should offer some accommodation. I think we can reserve a room contingent without a risk if we have early applications.
Organization
for further planning and collecting good ideas I can offer to discuss on www.wiki-to-xes.org. As a wiki we can open a wiki-page where everybody can add and correct what is in his mind. This is better then e-mails as the communication is less asynchronous since we all work on the same document. If you like the idea I will prepare something.
Time line
We urgently should finish planning or at least offering a convincing concept able to tease VIPs and sponsored (since we are a welfare organisation we all can acquire donations) for the conference. The planning shopukld be finished end of October. Then we start early enough for acquiring the conference as a big event.
next steps
Please see all the things mentioned before as loudly thinking. I suggest you add your ideas under each item and add further items if that is needed.
I suggest to make a sheet like followes:
Titel: xxx
Family section
|
Business section
|
Politics section
|
Miscellaneous section
|
We should contact persons for lecturing and presenting attractions.
People to contact could be:
- Please add further contact persons
- Till who is Aikido-Mediator. He for sure will demonstrate the near of the attitude of an Aikido-fighter and
- ...
Concrete suggestions
If you agree with my proposal to make a plan with concrete suggestions what to do in order to improve the world we should start that sheet right now.
Suggestions what to really do in order to improve the world could be:
- open eyes project (https://www.wiki-to-yes.org/Augenauf) for better, less dramatic information
- funds for financing mediations
- certifying professionals (instead or added to certifications of education)
- introducing mediation as decision making aid
- wiki to yes as information platform and support for conflict resolution
- and so on
