"Facilitating
and Mediating Effective Environmental Agreements"
is an intensive three-day workshop that builds on the theory and
skills taught in Course One. It is designed to meet the needs of professionals
who are considering using facilitated or mediated approaches, but
have limited experience applying these tools to environmental policy
disputes. The course is organized around CONCUR’s model of a stepwise
process for building agreements. Each participant will have an opportunity
to set the groundrules and agenda for a simulated negotiation, and
to serve as a facilitator or mediator. In addition, all participants
will receive individual coaching and an evaluation of their mediation
style.
