Sankofa is an African principle advising that we look to the past to make progress in the future. This event will review the historical roots of contemporary mediation techniques and consider how they can help empower individuals and communities today. Community mediation in the United States began during the civil rights movement of the 1960s as an effort to address social and judicial turmoil. Learn how mediation and other methods of alternative dispute resolution may help facilitate dialogue and resolve conflict in our own tumultuous times, outside of or as predecessor to court proceedings.
