MBB Expanding with new pilot Global Action Network!
Mediators Beyond Borders International (MBB) is excited to announce a great new benefit for MBB members: a Global Action Network (GAN), which will expand MBB’s reach and impact around the world. The GAN will be an international action-oriented network of mediators and other allied professionals, which anyone in the world can join. All MBB members will be able to participate in the GAN at no additional cost.
The GAN will be accessed from MBB’s website, and will enable MBB members to collaborate and engage in activities or programs anywhere in the world. The GAN will allow MBB to reach its full potential, making MBB a truly international organization. Using the GAN, the global MBB membership will be able to be directly involved in building local skills for peace and promoting mediation worldwide.
Examples of what will be possible on the GAN will include, but are not limited to:
- Forming local, regional, national, international, or topical GAN groups to take action together anywhere in the world; existing MBB chapters will be able to operate freely on the GAN;
- Actively collaborating with other initiatives to build local skills for peace and promote mediation;
- Sharing ideas and experiences with a global network of mediators; and
- Conducting MBB webinars, workshops, trainings, and much more.
MBB Project and Committee work will continue, and the GAN is intended to enhance this work and make it easier.
