Citizen Mediators Workshop/MWI

Citizen Mediators is part of CitizenDEMOS, a collaborative started by citizens who are concerned about the health and sustainability of democracies across the world. Citizen Mediators is a wholly non-partisan initiative to step back and ask ourselves tough questions about our role as citizens; step away from our echo chambers, conspiracy theories and political biases; appreciate the uniqueness of a democratic society and its vulnerabilities; and find creative ways to strengthen democratic values and institutions and influence the larger society.

Join Ashok Panikkar, founder of Meta-Culture and CitizenDEMOS, to learn about the Citizen Mediators initiative and movement and how we as mediators can play a vital role in influencing the future strengthening of democracy. Ashok is a mediator and facilitator who works extensively with polarized groups. Most recently he has designed and facilitated complex dialogues with stakeholders in the garment/ apparel sector and conservative Muslim/ Hindu and Christian/ Hindu groups. He has also worked on conflicts related to race, gay marriage, immigration and business and has designed and convened creative platforms for civic engagement.
