Simulated Mediations
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Internal Trade, Canada
Written by Allan Stitt and Michael Gibson, produced by Zapdramatic
The art and science of mediation using interactive simulations. Participate in simulated disputes between an athlete and his association and between two angry neighbours. These videos give the opportunity to intervene as a mediator in two disputes, guiding the disputants towards resolution in a safe, simulated environment.
The benefit of simulated experiences is that failure doesn't mean a life-destroying professional disgrace. The learner gains the wisdom to recognize the traps and make better, more effective choices.

Mediation In Action
Short documentaries on Building Corporate/Communities Relationships
The Harvard Kennedy School of Government's Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative has produced a series of video documentaries that portray how mediated dialogue can address profound bitterness and deep suspicion between companies and indigenous communities in high profile situations, yielding benefits beyond money, and establishing ongoing means of communication for avoiding and resolving issues in the future.
The first of these documentaries, published in July 2011, runs for 34 minutes. It was produced by Caroline Rees and Johanna Hull of the Harvard Kennedy CSR Initiative, directed by F. Peter Phillips of Business Conflict Management and filmed by David Stott of Match Productions. The documentary was supported by the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for Business and Human Rights, Professor John Ruggie.
Through interviews with leading participants, it describes a dispute resolution process involving communities that were impacted by the building of the Ambuklao and Binga dams in the Benguet Province of the Philippines.

Professor Frank Sander
In an interview during August 2010, Prof Frank Sander of Harvard Law School notes that as mediation has become more pervasive it is unclear how lay parties can evaluate the quality of mediators and that it is inadequate to "let the market decide". He concludes that we should be "heading towards some kind of ... system for appraising the quality and competency of mediators at least in terms of requiring training".
Time: 2-minute duration.
