This Conference is taking place in a special context, not only because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also because of the significant challenges that humanity faces and will face. In the coming decades, societies will have to confront various challenges, rooted in the social transformations we are currently experiencing, such as migration flows; intra-state and inter-state armed conflicts; the breakdown of representative democracy; new forms of mobilization and demands (including the use of social media), and radicalization (political and religious extremism); climate crisis; health crisis; gender and racial gaps; growing social inequalities; digital turn, etc.
It is in this context that the XIth World Mediation Forum Conference, held Online, proposes to discuss, in the framework of three round tables, the potential of mediation to constitute a constructive and adapted response to these conflicts and deep changes.
If you are an academic that studies mediation or a mediation practitioner, we invite you to send your paper, to be discussed in a workshop in the XIth WMF Conference.
Your abstract is welcome, in order to share your thoughts, research or practice related to mediation and, whenever possible, reflecting on the issues of the Conference.
A Participation Certificate will be issued by the World Mediation Forum.
Join us online next October, from the 24 to 27.
Working Languages: English, Spanish, and French.
Simultaneous translation (roundtables only): English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
