Thanks to Greece the EURO has come down 10 % since the registration opened. So by registering now you can save 10 % ! On top you can get a bonus of 5 % for every friend or colleague that is registering for the conference, too. This can sum up to a 50 % discount if you bring ten friends. So start the rumour and get ready for travelling. And the saving can continue if you travel Germany and Europe after or before the conference. Make the best out of the weak EURO!

3rd EUROPEAN COLLABORATIVE CONFERENCE (ECC)

LEARN GLOBALLY - EXPAND LOCALLY

Dispute resolution in the 21 ^st century is not „either/or“ nor “black and white”. The growing complexity of the world we live in leads to an increase in conflict and dispute in circumstances where time is frequently of the essence. Although we are well trained and conflict resolution is our daily stock and trade, we still tend to avoid conflict and focus on solutions rather than the conflict itself.

By t his we overlook our most important resource for solving the problem: the conflict and its dynamics. It is for this reason, after careful deliberation that we chose “Challenging Conflict” as the 2010 congress' key issue! Born out of the understanding that conflict always has a jurisdictional and emotional side, Munich itself has a more than a 25 year tradition of interdisciplinary conflict resolution.

From very early on, a body for understanding and cooperation regarding the clients’ conflicts was established. And today there are several centers of counseling throughout the city, finance d by private and public partnerships, where families can seek interdisciplinary and meditative help.

Munich is the first metropolis in Germany to have an interdisciplinary team within its Family Court, which meets on a monthly basis to bring the idea of an overall responsibility for all parties i n conflict to court and into conflict resolution.

We will debate the question of whether there can be an effective interdisciplinary team in and out of court and what are the benefits and pitfalls of spreading collaborative practice, also into the -German- court system. Views will be given in a plenary discussion with the European leaders in Collaborative Practice and by all participants in a world-café.

Drs. Hans-Georg and Gisela Mähler brought Jack Himmelstein and Gary Friedman to Munich in the late 1980´s to hold the first interdisciplinary workshop on Mediation. By then an unusual setting e ven for the Masters of Mediation. From this source springs the 3rd European Conference on Collaborative Practice and we are proud to present Jack Himmelstein and Gary Friedman , authors of CHALLENGING CONFLICT: MEDIATION THROUGH UNDERSTANDING as key note speakers.

There will be 5 pre-congress workshops for in-depth and focused CP learning opportunities, including a Train the Trainers by the IACP.

There will be around 30 workshops in English, French and German on Friday and Saturday. Led by more than 30 presenters from the US, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Belgium. They will make this interdisciplinary conference an all-embracing platform for networking and information gathering/exchanging for lawyers, coaches, mediators, family therapists, child experts, divorce consultants and financial specialists.

This con ference will be of interest to all levels of participants from beginners to intermediate practitioners and up to advanced practitioners and even trainers.
