What is diversity mediation?

Diversity mediation is a method of conflict resolution that is inspired by intercultural competence and works in a diversity-sensitive way. This makes it very broad-based and deeply effective. What does “diversity” mean in this context? The various forms of human diversity can be the cause of a conflict or become the subject of a conflict (without necessarily having triggered it). The lines of conflict can then open up, for example, between men and women, young and old, queer and cis, East and West, rich and poor and more. The various forms of human diversity also include the very individual experiences and lifeworlds of people and incorporate this background into mediation. In traditional mediation training, intercultural conflicts are dealt with as a special issue and problem. Diversity mediation, on the other hand, utilizes the diverse potential of the conflict parties. Diversity mediation therefore sees diversity not only as possible causes and issues of conflict, but also as a diverse background for possible solutions. Diversity is therefore not automatically assumed to be a cause of conflict in diversity mediation, but experience shows that conflicting parties almost reflexively focus on the differences in a dispute, so that these can be explosive. Experience also shows, however, that differences can give rise to a variety of possible solutions. In diversity mediation, the mediator and conflict parties work out at an appropriate point in time what significance equality or inequality really has for the conflict parties, or for the dispute and solutions.
