Share a story on trust-building in dispute resolution with us

Our goal

Conflicts happen every day, often in an intercultural context. These conflicts may arise because we don’t know how to talk to or collaborate with people from different cultures. Imagine an open discussion in the classroom involving students and lecturers from different cultures; do you think that students from different cultures might clash or misunderstand each other?

We believe that in order to effectively build trust with disputers, mediators (be they informal, community or peer mediators, or mediators in courts) should understand the informal aspects of trust which may positively or negatively impact trust building in a multi-cultural context. In order to collect this knowledge, we are turning to you. and using your stories to build a picture of trust building across the globe.
