Celebrating Cultural Diversity
Workshop with Masana de Souza
Sunday 27 June
at Sutton Courtenay Abbey, near Oxford
Fee £30
This experiential, participatory workshop honours the diversity of human beings within our "global village". Our society is vigorously searching for alternatives to the adversarial approach of dealing with cultural disputes. Negotiating from bases of power and fixed positions deepens the divide and expands the problem. The best and most lasting solutions and resolutions are those created by the people directly involved. By facilitating conciliation we can honour the participants and their perspectives.
The day will offer the chance to reflect on your experience of conflict and its resolution, and engage in dialogue with a model of the "journey to conciliation" which will be interwoven throughout to produce a creative transformation of conflicts within ourselves and our lives. You can expect to learn new ways of experiencing and harnessing the wisdom of diversity in the group, to practise authentic communication and ways of dealing with prejudice, especially in the resolution of conflicts.
Masana is an international organisation development consultant, mediator and facilitator who specializes in change management, consensus-building and conflict management. She has wide experience in designing, developing and managing voluntary organisations involved in mediation and family support projects in both Jamaica and Britain. She is an Executive Director of Mediation UK. A Winston Churchill Fellow, Masana recently returned from examining the way conflict resolution strategies are transforming South Africa.
