The professional mediation is support for freedom of decision. When this idea of the relationship between mediation and freedom is new to people, it is perceived as complex. Some even consider the right to mediation to be an infringement of liberty.
But what is complex in finding quality relationships? There are misconceptions transmitted for centuries in education and this is what appears to be the most obstacle in current governance.
To begin with, I started from an observation: for a conflict to be resolved, the protagonists must reflect on the quality of their relationship, sometimes on the meaning of life. Consequently, the mediator cannot be a specialist of a technicality other than the relation. If you know how to maintain the relational quality, the rest is only a matter of imagination, creativity, innovation. To believe, however, that the thing is not simple. And this is where the professional mediator comes in.
I repeat: if there are differences on a technical aspect (financial allocation, use of a good, distribution of a property, quality of a service or a product, neighborhood nuisance, disagreement on methods of work…) is a matter of creativity. The error is in affectivization, or emotionalization If you want.
The mediator must know how to intervene to support the establishment of creative research. At the same time, he must have acquired a know-how to deploy a practice of transmission of the relational quality repository.
If you follow me well, theexpertise in professional mediation and relationship engineering is to participate in the development of a form of management centered on the contributory relationship, in the sense that the participants in the development of a project make choices of involvement in order to maintain a dynamic.
An objective of professional mediation: Freedom
Design the mediator profession placed under a guardianship testifies to a form of spirit: that of voluntary servitude. This old legacy of modeling a societal and universal hierarchy is so deep-rooted that all of humanity still has a lot of difficulty shaking off this heavy, heavy cultural mantle.
In this teasing period, I would say, for the exercise of freedoms, it is important to take stock. There are those who say that we are moving towards an authoritarian system and those who are delighted with the turn of events and the decisions taken by political and health decision-makers.
With Carlo Brusa, Edith Delbreil, I am going to offer you another perspective so that we can continue our existence in the same spirit of freedom that we have received for several generations, after the war of 1939-1945.
See you on June 18, 2021, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (H-Paris)
