Intercultural process competencies
Join us for a workshop exploring models for cross-cultural conversations in family mediation. We'll cover various frameworks, including Brett’s Negotiating Globally model (2014), Aslani et al.'s research on face, dignity and honour cultures (2016), and Greenwood et al.'s approach to Collaborative Conflict Management applying E-SIRI-COPE (2023).
The session will include a role-play exercise highlighting the complexities of cultural differences in family conflicts, providing insights for enhancing intercultural communication and conflict resolution in family mediation.
Attendees will gain practical strategies for mediating cross-cultural conflicts and resolving family disputes.
