Ken Cloke and a small group of colleagues founded Mediators Beyond Borders with the idea that mediators volunteering their skills around the world could enable a more ‘peace able ‘ world.  Nine years and 12 projects later, there are many lessons that mediators working on projects around the world have gathered.  MBB has accumulated a trove of insights, policies and practices for working cross-culturally, and this webinar will share a subset identified as most relevant for ACR members.  Using case studies from Liberia, Sierra Leone & Kenya the presenters will highlight how a range of processes may be applied in communities both at home and afar to prevent conflict and support the peaceful integration of diverse populations.
