SUMMARY:Training Active Bystanders\, Workshop Session D
DESCRIPTION:Training Active Bystanders (TAB) is a skill-building process that helps participants know when they are bystanders\, to analyze situations\, and evaluate consequences. TAB gives bystanders the competencies to create action plans in the moment of need or later. TAB teaches how bystanders can interrupt harmful situations and generate positive actions. Active bystandership means taking responsible action to help people in need\, instead of remaining passive and becoming complicit. It does not mean aggression against the harm doer. TAB is also about responding positively to helpful behaviors\, and engaging with people beyond your normal circle.  \nThe TAB workshop is generally taught by trainers from the community where they are teaching it\, using a train-the-trainers model. The lessons are interactive\, using group activities\, brainstorming and sharing of experiences. The training is a means of transforming the community to a norm in which harm doing is not acceptable. Bystander acts that stop harm doing to individual targets also stop the changes in a community that encourage harm to others. \nSession B is October 7\, 1:00 pm – 3:30 pm EST. Register for it here. \nThe 2.5-hour TAB workshop is adapted for training in cyberspace using the Zoom platform during which trainers and trainees are engaged with each other synchronously. The online TAB is an interactive workshop that includes activities\, story sharing\, small break-out group exercises\, and large group discussions.  \nThe TAB workshop covers the following: \n\nDefines the roles of individuals involved in a harmful situation (target\, harm doer\, bystander) and assists participants in discovering the positive power of bystanders; \nDiscusses the universal inhibitors that lead to inaction on the part of bystanders and witnesses when harmful actions are going on and how to overcome them;\nExamines the promoters of active bystandership (moral courage\, inclusive caring\, responsibility for others\, reciprocity and self-interest\, empathy);\nStresses safety and non-violence and helps participants\, working together\, to develop their own intervention techniques;\nHelps participants create action plans to break the inhibitors in the future when they encounter harm doing.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Conflict Culture & Democracy Session 2
DESCRIPTION:This is the fourth Demo Sapiens webinar series that is co-sponsored by Mediators Beyond Borders International (MBBI) and the Millennium Alliance of Humanity and the Biosphere (Stanford University). It is led by Ashok Panikkar of MetaCulture. \nIt is a 12-part Conflict\, Culture & Democracy Course. It will be held weekly on Thursdays at 10 AM ET (-4 UTC). Each session will be 90 minutes long. The first session is scheduled for Thursday\, October 1 at 10 AM EST and the twelfth session is scheduled for Thursday\, December 17 at 10 AM EST.  \nThis course is designed to help participants place the current global crisis of democracy within the larger (and complex) context. Navigating this unprecedented political\, ecological\, economic\, and cultural crisis will depend upon our capacity to understand: (a) How we got here. (b) The interlocking forces that are in play today (c) What history can teach us about human successes and limitations in addressing complex problems. \nEach session will seek to develop a discourse around democracy\, politics\, and culture that can be well-informed\, thoughtful\, and mature- rather than reactive\, angry\, wistful\, or riddled with assumptions. \nPlease note that the pricing for the Demo Sapiens Webinar Series is different than MBBI’s monthly webinars. Participants are paying for a 12-part series co-sponsored by MBBI\, Meta-Culture\, and the Millennium Alliance of Humanity and the Biosphere. If participants register for this series by September 19th\, they can pay a discounted rate. \nRegister here for the Webinar Series starting on Thursday\, October 1 at 10 AM ET

SUMMARY:Whats Next for the Women Peace And Security Agenda at 20?
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, we commemorate 20 years of the Women Peace and Security (WPS) agenda since the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in October 2000. The UN Secretary-General’s 2019 Annual Report on WPS highlighted the important role of regions in developing innovative\, ‘context-specific’ approaches to the WPS agenda and in identifying practical and measurable steps for fully implementing the agenda. \nIn anticipation of the UN Security Council Open Debate on WPS in late October\, it is fitting that experts from Indonesia and Australia\, countries that are both champions of the WPS agenda\, come together to mark the 20th anniversary of #1325 and to discuss the next decade for ‘Women\, Peace and Security’. \nCo-hosted by Monash Gender Peace and Security Centre and AMAN Indonesia\, the dialogue will focus in particular on how both Indonesia and Australia can further promote and support women’s meaningful participation with the aim of bringing greater security to the Indo Pacific region. It will be 2 pm  to 3:30 pm AEDT (+10 UTC) \nRuby Khalifa\, of AMAN Indonesia\, is also an IPTI alum from MBBI. Read more about the IPTI program here. \nGovernment\, research and NGO leaders will discuss the peace and security challenges facing the region – including armed conflict\, climate-induced disaster\, rising violent extremism and the COVID-19 pandemic – and the relevance of the WPS agenda framework in addressing these challenges. \nBoth Indonesian and Australian governments are about to adopt their second National Action Plans for Women\, Peace and Security so this is an opportune time to discuss the next decade of WPS action and how Indonesia and Australia can collaborate further on\, inter alia\, increasing women’s presence in peace and security decision-making\, enhancing the capacity for gender-responsive policy and programming; amplifying the agency of young women and supporting women’s civil society networks and their participation in sustaining peace.

SUMMARY:EWER Part 2 (Oct 23)
DESCRIPTION:This session addresses the specific structure and function of the Trust Network and its Early Warning Early Response system tailored to the USA. Conflict Warning/Response systems cannot be structured by a recipe that works for every culture. How will our particular system work\, and what do you need to know to take part in it?\n \nPresenter Bio:\nMadhawa Palihapitiya is the Associate Director at the statutory state dispute resolution office at the John W. McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston. Madhawa has over eighteen years of experience in conflict early warning and early response. From 2002 to 2006\, Madhawa designed and implemented a unique “third-generation” community-based conflict early warning system for Sri Lanka and managed a vast network of violence interrupters. The system used events data and local knowledge systems in communities to prevent and/or reduce violence. From 2013 to 2017\, Madhawa helped design and implement a conflict early warning as part of the Training of Leaders on Religious and National Coexistence (TOLERANCE) project in Nigeria\, which was a five-year service and research project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). As part of this project\, Madhawa was able to help Nigerian Community Peace Observers (CPOs) engage in predicting and preventing violence through a centralized Community Peace Coordinating Center (CPCC) for early response and mediation. Madhawa also designed and oversaw the development of a unique cloud-based conflict early warning software called “Waayama” for tracking and interrupting violence.

Madhawa also designed and oversaw the development of a unique cloud-based conflict early warning software called “Waayama” for tracking and interrupting violence.

SUMMARY:EWER Part 2 (Oct 28)
DESCRIPTION:This session addresses the specific structure and function of the Trust Network and its Early Warning Early Response system tailored to the USA. Conflict Warning/Response systems cannot be structured by a recipe that works for every culture. How will our particular system work\, and what do you need to know to take part in it?\n \nPresenter Bio:\nMadhawa Palihapitiya is the Associate Director at the statutory state dispute resolution office at the John W.

From 2002 to 2006\, Madhawa designed and implemented a unique “third-generation” community-based conflict early warning system for Sri Lanka and managed a vast network of violence interrupters. The system used events data and local knowledge systems in communities to prevent and/or reduce violence. From 2013 to 2017\, Madhawa helped design and implement a conflict early warning as part of the Training of Leaders on Religious and National Coexistence (TOLERANCE) project in Nigeria\, which was a five-year service and research project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

SUMMARY:Mediating the Evolution of Climate Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join our conversation on Mediating the Evolution of Climate Justice led by Kathy Porter and David B. Savage on Wednesday\, November 4\, 2020\, at 12:00 PM ET (-5 UTC after Daylight Savings Time). In this webinar\, Kathy and David will focus on three main questions: What is Climate Justice? What is Evolving? And what is our role as mediators? Join us as\, together\, we generate ideas and opportunities for change.   \nKathy Porter https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathy-porter-c-med-2b886721/ and David B. Savage https://www.linkedin.com/in/savagedavidb/ \nWhat is Climate Justice? What is Evolving? And what is our role as mediators? \nCollective demands for action on climate change have resonated around the world among those most impacted. Countries\, communities\, and people ignored by political and industrial decision-makers have found a common voice. The climate is changing even as those same decision-makers look away from the harm being done to rely on the same economic and political systems that have led the charge of unfettered acquisition for hundreds and hundreds of years. Where is the justice for those who are affected by rising sea levels\, drought and fire storms\, the populations moved out of the way of development to the benefit of the few? \nWe worry that climate justice may only focus on the negative (the punishments for bad behaviour). Many organizations\, communities and governments are seeking to create shared value. There is a very real opportunity to move together to a new economic\, environmental\, and social paradigm. This 21 st century evolution depends on identification of new ways of doing business that reflect the full measurement of the impacts of business and political initiatives to hold positive and negative accountability for all outcomes. All outcomes including over decades\, cumulative environmental effects\, community effects and economic outcomes. These are very complex and ever-changing relationships. The challenge we have yet to take on is to take the whole into consideration and to make our future matter to everyone. The critical parts need to be dreamed and created to direct\, incentify\, finance and collaborate in the development of new systems. That must include the peoples\, communities\, and nations most hurt by Climate Change. \nThis Mediators Beyond Borders online seminar on Climate Justice will be an inclusive\, participative\, and collaborative exploration on “Mediating the Evolution of Climate Justice”. Join us as\, together\, we generate ideas and opportunities for change. \nClick here to register. \n_________________________________________________________________________ \nSpecial thanks to Charalee Graydon a dedicated member of the MBBI Climate Change Policy Project (CCPP).

Participants are paying for a 12-part series co-sponsored by MBBI\, Meta-Culture\, and the Millennium Alliance of Humanity and the Biosphere. If participants register for this series by September 19th\, they can pay a discounted rate. \nRegister here for the Webinar Series starting on Thursday\, October 1 at 10 AM ET
