  Mediation: A transversal approach with multiple purposes

  Xth Congress World mediation forum

  The WMF’s mission is the development and exchange of knowledge, information and competencies in all mediation areas, notably through the regular organization of international congresses for more than fifteen years. The Xth Conference of the World Mediation Forum wants to devote itself to trying to understand how mediation can be organized and developed when it has so many objectives that are seemingly difficult to reconcile. Thus, the 2019 conference will try to bring, through four highly interrelated roundtables and about forty presentations, a significant contribution to this question: 'Mediation: A transversal approach with multiple purposes?'

  Humanity and the challenges of the contemporary world

  Man and catastrophes

  Over the last few decades our increasingly complex and globalized world has witnessed a constant increase of disasters, cataclysms and natural or provoked catastrophes. What has man been doing and what can he do, when confronted with catastrophes for which he is responsible and with which he has to deal ? A vast issue for humanity is the need to decide how to act either individually or collectively in the face of disasters. Our focus will be on man’s actions and reactions when facing catastrophes. The questions of responsability and conscience are particularly relevant in an interconnected world which is characterized by an unprecedented acceleration in time and space. Crossing research in human and social sciences and in the exact sciences can shed light on the complexity of man’s behaviour and that of state policies.
