Interactive experiential activities were used in a series of mediation-based and interpersonal relationship training programs in Cyprus to raise sensitivity and awareness when responding to the multiple, interweaving issues and complex perspectives that arise in an interpersonal, intercultural, inter-ethnic, identity-based, and political conflict based on the respective histories of the two disputing communities. This approach oriented participants to the underlying nature of the mediation process and produced improved interpersonal relationships between civil society members of the historically divided Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities, who in most instances have held differing views on reunification of the island. In view of the apparent current improved climate for reunification and the potential 2016 efforts for another referendum to accomplish that goal, possible attempts to use this approach to positively engage people bicommunally on the ground bear close consideration as an indispensable auxiliary to the political process.

调解培训的体验活动：塞浦路斯，1997-2013

在塞浦路斯的一系列基于调解和人际关系的培训计划中使用了互动体验活动，以提高在应对人际、跨文化、跨种族、基于身份的多重、交织问题和复杂观点时的敏感性和意识，以及基于两个有争议的社区各自历史的政治冲突。这种方法使参与者了解调解过程的基本性质，并改善了历史上分裂的希族和土族塞人社区的民间社会成员之间的人际关系，他们在大多数情况下对岛屿的统一持有不同的看法。
