Looking for cases or actors...March 3rd

The Civic Project at UNCG is working on creating DVDs for educational workshops and promotion of the center. We are searching for anyone that:

1. Has a real life case / dispute that we could mediate. It can be any disagreement OR just anything you need help working out. Some examples: premarital agreements, kind of like pre-nups, but for how you will handle disagreement or decision making in the future; roommate arguments; child care arrangements; schedules; divorce; custody; business matters, or anything you can think of or anything that you can think of that someone you know may be able to utilize. Just a selling point... mediations typically cost $250per hour + preparation fees, so we're offering services in excess of $500 for free.
   OR
   
2. Any aspiring actors / actresses who would be willing to play a role in one of the following possible scenarios:
   Divorce - finances and/or custody
   Business partnership
   Community dispute - noisy neighbor, HOA problems with appearance, etc.
   

We need both men & women. In addition to be able to add acting in a promotional video for the CIVIC Project to your resume. This will probably be at least a half a days worth of work and will be on March 3rd.

Education workshop a success

The Conflict Resolution in Education workshop held on Feb. 13 was a success. The elementary school is now interested in developing a peer mediation program and details of that will be coming soon.

Parenting coordination training postponed

The parenting coordination training scheduled for February 22-24 has been postponed. when the trainers announce a new date, information will be posted to this blog or you can email swhayes@uncg.edu to be placed on a list. The likely reschedule date will be sometime in September.

CR in Education Workshop

Topics will include: a discussion of conflict and common conflicts in the school; some conflict prevention, management, and resolution techniques and how to apply them in everyday classroom situations; and some basics on developing a peer mediation program.
