Every mediator recalls how difficult it was to break into the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and how gaining initial experience was near impossible. This eye-opening book provides insights into what success looks like in a mediation practice. The Annual World Mediation Summit brings some of the most forward-thinking international conflict experts together in this book sharing their accounts of how mediation is used to resolve interpersonal and international conflicts so that participants walk away from the conflict with win-win solutions. This book will appeal to anyone interested in practical experiences in mediation across the globe, or wanting to discover how the most successful mediators operate. It is also appropriate for anyone interested in learning from successful judges, lawyers and mediators. Furthermore, this book will be useful to anyone who wants to learn about how mediation works worldwide and to learn from mediators’ challenges and capitalize on their successes. The twenty plus chapters here are written by authors from across the globe supporting the use of mediation in place of other more complicated systems. Their experiences are thoughtfully and clearly described in this book.

En el contexto educativo la convivencia escolar, el bienestar emocional y la gestión de conflictos constituyen tres pilares básicos para el desarrollo integral del alumnado de los primeros años de escolaridad. La diversidad cultural, las diferentes realidades sociales y las variadas necesidades educativas plantean un reto significativo para los docentes y las comunidades escolares. Este libro aborda estos desafíos desde una perspectiva teórica y práctica, proporcionando herramientas y estrategias que faciliten una convivencia armoniosa y un ambiente educativo seguro e inclusivo. El primer capítulo, titulado «Conceptos y fundamentos de la convivencia escolar, el bienestar y la gestión de conflictos», establece las bases conceptuales y normativas que sustentan la convivencia en los centros educativos. Aquí se exploran las diferentes normativas y regulaciones que guían las políticas de convivencia en el ámbito escolar, así como los principios éticos y pedagógicos que deben orientar las interacciones entre los miembros de la comunidad educativa. Este capítulo también destaca la importancia de una convivencia positiva como elemento esencial para el éxito académico y el desarrollo personal del alumnado. En el segundo capítulo, «Convivencia, bienestar y gestión de los conflictos en el ámbito educativo», se profundiza en la elaboración y aplicación de los planes de convivencia escolar. Se detalla cómo estos planes deben ser diseñados y ejecutados, incluyendo la participación de todos los actores involucrados: docentes, alumnado, familias y la comunidad en general. El capítulo también destaca el papel del coordinador de bienestar y protección, un profesional encargado de velar por un entorno seguro y propicio para el aprendizaje, así como las funciones de las familias y la comunidad en el fomento de una convivencia pacífica y respetuosa. El tercer capítulo, «Evaluación e intervención en la convivencia escolar, el bienestar y la gestión de conflictos», presenta una serie de programas, estrategias y recursos prácticos que han demostrado ser efectivos en la promoción de la convivencia y la resolución de conflictos. Aquí se incluyen actividades lúdicas, rincones temáticos y ejercicios de reflexión diseñados para desarrollar en el alumnado competencias de comunicación e interacción y habilidades sociales. Además, se destacan los recursos escolares y comunitarios que pueden ser aprovechados para enriquecer el entorno educativo y fortalecer los lazos entre la escuela y la comunidad. Al final de este libro, se incluyen los anexos «Juego de Cartas de los Conflictos» y «Ruedas de solución de conflictos». Este juego está diseñado para proporcionar una herramienta interactiva para resolver conflictos en las aulas de manera lúdica y educativa. A través de diferentes escenarios, el alumnado aprende a identificar, enfrentar y resolver conflictos, fomentando habilidades sociales como la empatía, la negociación y el respeto mutuo. A lo largo de este libro, se proporciona una visión integral que combina teoría y práctica, con el objetivo de ofrecer a los educadores una guía completa para abordar los retos de la convivencia escolar. Cada capítulo está diseñado para ser una herramienta útil y accesible, que permita a estudiantes de grado, docentes y otros profesionales de la educación implementar estrategias efectivas y sostenibles en sus contextos específicos. En suma, este libro no solo busca proporcionar conocimientos y recursos, sino también inspirar un compromiso profundo con la creación de ambientes escolares más justos, inclusivos y pacíficos. La educación desempeña un papel fundamental en la formación de ciudadanos empáticos, respetuosos y capaces de convivir en armonía. Este es el propósito último de esta obra: contribuir a la construcción de una sociedad mejor, comenzando por nuestras escuelas.

La mediación va a la escuela para contribuir al bienestar de todas las personas de la comunidad educativa. Al principio, sorprende su efectividad en la gestión de los conflictos. Luego, llama la atención la implicación de niños y jóvenes de cualquier edad, sus habilidades para escuchar, comprender y buscar soluciones creativas donde todos salen ganado. Aunque lo mejor llega cuando el clima del centro entero cambia, volviéndose acogedor y armónico gracias a los valores que acompañan al proceso mediador: autonomía, participación, libertad, cooperación y solidaridad. La mediación, además, proporciona una red protectora ante cualquier imprevisto porque, si bien no podemos evitar los problemas, sí podemos prepararnos para convertirlos en retos y oportunidades. Este libro busca dar a conocer la mediación en profundidad, mostrar su encaje dentro del plan de convivencia del centro educativo y proporcionar herramientas para formar equipos de mediadores y consolidar los servicios de mediación escolar.

Anyone who has spent time in an organization knows that dysfunctional behavior abounds. Conflict is frequently avoided or pushed underground rather than dealt with openly. At the same time, the same arguments often burst out again and again, almost verbatim. Turf battles continue for extended periods without resolution. People nod their heads in agreement in meetings, and then rush out of the room to voice complaints to sympathetic ears in private. Worst of all, when people are asked if things will ever change, they throw up their hands in despair. They feel like victims trapped in an asylum. And people often are trapped. But they are not trapped by some oppressive regime or organizational structure that has been imposed on them. They are not victims. In fact, people themselves are responsible for making the status quo so resistant to change. We are trapped by our own behavior. Researchers and practitioners have often reflected on these things, but there is a puzzle. On the one hand, there is substantial agreement that these traps are counterproductive to effective performance. On the other hand, there is almost no focus on how organizational traps can be prevented or reduced. This book argues that whatever theory is used to describe and understand such organizational traps should be used to design and implement interventions that reduce and prevent them. Argyris is one of the world's leading management scholars whose work has consistently shed light on orgainzational problems. This book is essential reading for MBAs, managers, and consultants.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
