MEDIATING IN A VIRTUAL WORLD

ALEX YAROSLAVSKY

The advent of COVID-19 changed our world in ways we could not have predicted. Social distancing is the new normal and gathering parties around a table is not an option. For mediation, the current public health crisis may signal a tipping point. Most mediators are now confronted with the need to provide mediation services in a new way. Convening meetings, joint sessions, caucuses, document sharing and other essential mediation techniques must now rely on online tools. Join us on April 2nd to learn how to use Zoom and other tools to conduct mediations in a virtual world. This will be an online experience providing participants with an understanding of how the Zoom platform works, its features, dos & don’ts, and challenges. Alex will also share from his years of coaching and facilitation experience about how people--mediators and others--are the same and different in virtual, compared to face-to-face, meetings.
