Intercultural Mediation

Catalog description

The Berlin Summer Program in Intercultural Negotiation and Mediation is a joint venture between Tulane Law School and Humboldt University in Berlin/Germany. 2024 marks the 26th consecutive year that the Program is being offered. The curriculum consists of lectures, Q+A sessions and role-play exercises.

A special unit will focus on the negotiation and mediation of political disputes. Successful participants receive one credit of experiential learning (at Tulane) and a certificate that documents successful participation in the Program. Participants will move between general lectures and exercises in small groups. The language of instruction is English. The main reading is Stulberg/Love, The Middle Voice (Carolina Academic Press). Additional readings, presentation slides and fact patterns will be provided via Canvas (for TLS students) or email (non-TLS students).
