DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism welcomes Andr茅a
  Morrison\, co-Director of the PlatesFormes Project\, Director of Global D
 ialogue Inc. (globaldialogue.ca)\, Mediator at la Commission des droits de
  la personne et des droits de la jeunesse.\n\nAbstract\n\nSocial diversity
  can unleash many tensions\, some of which erupt violently. This workshop 
 will present an approach\, platforms\, to structuring collaboration in ord
 er to work through systemic conflict using mediation. Andrea will also rev
 iew a current project\, PlatesFormes\, and explore the role that 9I制作厂免费鈥檚 
 Center for Human Rights could take within this project.\n\nAndrea will beg
 in by raising social justice concerns that have surfaced through research 
 and twenty-five years of mediation practice\, including eight years as a h
 uman rights mediator at the Commission des droits de la personne et des dr
 oits de la jeunesse. She will question the capacity of current mediation m
 odels to respond to systemic conflict\, and highlight the lack of collabor
 ative social mechanisms\, particularly within Quebec.\n\nAndrea will then 
 outline an approach and platforms\, which could provide the necessary stru
 cture to address systemic conflict through neutral intervention. After pre
 senting a theoretical prototype\, she will then describe and critically an
 alyse a current project for which she is co-director\, PlatesFormes\, fund
 ed by the Canadian Institute for Conflict Resolution (Ottawa) and the Bria
 n Bronfman Family Foundation. Unlike other projects which focus on solutio
 ns to social issues\, PlatesFormes is focused on process itself\; research
 ing\, developing and applying best practices to the mediation of complex s
 ocial conflicts\, while framing interventions to include human rights and 
 intercultural mediation. Drawing upon the successes and challenges of the 
 pilot project phase\, Andrea will invite participants to dialogue key ques
 tions\, such as the role of universities\, and use this input to inform th
 e PlatesFormes initiative.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nSince 1995\, Andrea Mor
