‘A World of Possibility – Link to my YouTube Talk about Mediation.’

Posted on by

On Tuesday 11 November 2025 I presented a 70 minute Zoom webinar for members of the SCMA entitled – ‘Mediation of Cultural Heritage Disputes.’

There are also links to the video on the ‘How I can help’ page at www.carlislam.co.uk – scroll down to find, and at the top of www.artandcivilization.tv.

Alternatively, you can search in YouTube by using the words – ‘Carl Islam Mediation of Cultural Heritage Disputes.’

I am currently writing a new book entitled – ‘Mediation of Cultural Heritage
Disputes’, see the ‘Mediation of Cultural Heritage Disputes’ page at
www.carlislam.co.uk.

As I state in the introduction to my Talk – ‘The Participants’ Paradigms in
these disputes are shaped by multiple Dynamic Forces. Therefore, Cultural
Heritage Disputes are ‘Multi- Dimensional’. Because these disputes are
International – they are also ’Inter-Cultural.’

In the second half of the Talk, I discuss ‘Parameters in mediation’ as being
‘Dimensions of the dispute’, i.e. ‘Parameters’ = ‘Dimensions’.

I have identified seven Dimensions in Cultural Heritage Disputes, which I will
develop in the book.

These are:

·       ‘The Human Dimension.’
·       ‘The Existential Dimension.’
·       ‘The Object Dimension’.
·       ‘The Legal Dimension.’
·       ‘The Ethical Dimension’.
·       ‘The Political Dimension’.
·       ‘The Decision-Making Dimension.’

These Dimensions are all dynamic and inter-connected.

The dynamic interplay that takes place in Mediation between each of these Dimensions demonstrates that Mediation = ‘A World of Possibility!’

As I demonstrate in my concluding remarks by reference to Egypt’s claim for the return of the ‘Rosetta Stone’ – what it is possible to achieve in Mediation is only limited by the skills and imagination of the Mediator, Participants and their Mediation Advocates.

In 2024 I also gave a Talk that was broadcast on YouTube about ‘Mediation
Advocacy in Trust & Estate Disputes.’ There is a link to the video at the foot of
the ‘How I can help’ page at www.carlislam.co.uk.

May I also take this opportunity to wish all readers of my posts a Joyous Christmastime and a Happy and Peaceful New Year!
