As facilitators and mediators, an important part of what we are mediating and facilitating is our human diversity and the complex rank and privilege dynamics associated with those differences. This experiential training includes key diversity awareness concepts,practical tools, awareness development work, and small and large group sessions to give you ample opportunities to practice, learn, explore, discuss and grow. * Participants will learn how to create more inclusive and welcoming environments * Mediators will learn practical ways to detect and reduce bias * Participants will be better able to intervene in groups and mediations when bias or other diversity issues arise * Participants will learn how rank and privilege influence conflict, communication, and relationships * Participants will become more comfortable talking about diversity issues * Participants will be better able to analyze and understand relationship tensions and conflicts related to human differences
