European Narratives

Twenty International Students Tell Their Stories of Europe. In this creative writing project with students of management and business, we asked ourselves what Europe means for us at a time when everyone is speaking about crisis. The students wrote authentic autobiographical stories about what it is like to discover Europe from their different perspectives, coming from inside Europe (France, Germany, Hungary, Italy) and outside (Cameroon, Columbia, Kasakhstan, Russia), or the perspective of their parents from Bosnia, Canada, Lebanon and more.

The book is a delightful collection of stories about discovery and self-reflection, about love and about European values.

In English and available as a free download.

Stories Mediators Tell

The American Bar Association has published a collection of stories based on real experiences of mediators from around the world, edited by Lela P. Love and Glen Parker. Stories from China, Europe, India, South Africa, the USA and elsewhere tell of the challenges and difficult moments in mediation, and from successes and surprises - anonymous or fictional, or with the permission of the parties to tell the tale. The result is a rare picture of the diversity of mediation and the common denominator - the wish to find solutions. Greg Bond has written a story about a community mediation in a German village for this volume.

It is a dialogue between experienced mediation professionals of different nationalities and backgrounds, sharing their ideas on cases from across the globe. The 8 mediators provide 16 cases and 128 responses and conclusions to these cases with hundreds of ideas on what mediators might do in specific situations. Each case focuses on a “mediation moment” when mediators ask themselves what to do next. The cases come from international commercial mediation, small claims mediation, family and elder mediation, workplace mediation, and community mediation.
