New Tools Package: Visualizing Micro Skills

The MAS ETH MPP has recently published a multi-media resource package on micro skills for peace mediation. The package includes four interrelated products:

• A deck of cards on core mediation micro skills, such as reframing, empathy, asking questions, power awareness, or mediation martial arts. For each skill, we have a dedicated card with a visually appealing icon and, on the backside, a description along with example(s).
  
• Video snippets on micro skills with Zaza Elsheikh and Chris Moore, two seasoned mediators. For instance, if you want to see how Zaza and Chris would reframe a tricky statement, now you can do it simply by watching the videos available on the website.
• An animated introduction to the five phase model of mediation, offering a simple and systematic way of structuring a mediation process along the phases of introduction, perspectives, interest, options, and conclusion.
• Enacted mediations showcasing the five phase model in practice. You can now watch Chris and Zaza in action with both mediating a different case.
