Cutting Edge Conflict Prevention and Resolution Strategies in the Digital Age – November 3, 2016 1-hour Free Webinar
Thursday, November 3 2016 at Noon/12:00pm Eastern Time join the Online Peer Mediation Platform (OPMP) and Brav during a 1-hour Cyberweek 2016 free webinar titled “Cutting Edge Conflict Prevention and Resolution Strategies in the Digital Age”.
Organized by the Werner Institute, Creighton University School of Law, Cyberweek is an annual virtual conference dedicated to the innovations and developments in online dispute resolution (ODR).
DESCRIPTION
"The goal of peace operations is not military victory. The conflict is the enemy, rather than specific enemy forces." Richard Rinaldo.
Students spend years studying principles of math, science, and language; however few are required to take one course in conflict resolution. By neglecting to teach students the fundamentals of peace and conflict resolution, we are in essence encouraging violence. Western thinking postulates that violence and military victories are a natural part of the human condition and responding to a conflict with violence is the only plausible solution of dealing with the enemy.
Although violence is contagious and innate, responding with peace often must be learned. Brāv and OPMP believe an academic trend toward peace is the correct response to the problem of violence in our culture. Our society, particularly young adults, spends about 27 hours per week using online communication (UK Telegraph, 2015). Although many see the internet as a tool for entertainment, we picture it as a means for helping future generations learn to solve their differences through communication and training. In this webinar, we endeavor to demonstrate the great value of online dispute resolution and how it can become a way of life.
