What you’re looking at is an artist’s interpretation of a recent Mediator’s Beyond Borders meeting. Mediator’s Beyond Borders is a non-profit, humanitarian organization established to partner with communities worldwide to build their conflict resolution capacity for preventing, resolving and healing from conflict.
Mediators Beyond Borders (MBB) interprets “beyond borders” broadly. It acts across geographical, political, economic, societal, and cultural boundaries. MBB considers the term mediator to be inclusive of a broad range of conflict management and resolution endeavors. Activities such as conciliation, consulting, facilitation, consensus building, conducting public dialogues, system design, restorative justice initiatives, education and capacity building to mitigate or prevent violence are all encompassed within a sweeping definition of mediator.
Ron Supancic and Robert Borsky are two of MBB’s mediators. For more information about MBB, please visit www.mediatorsbeyondborders.org.
