Open Space Technology (OST) is a powerful process for meetings & events where the topics are important, complex & urgent. OST works with anything from 5 people to 2,000+ people who create the agenda themselves. It is designed to be highly participatory, inclusive & collaborative & often results in breakthroughs in thinking & action. I use OST in my meeting facilitation practice more than any other method. @chriscorrigan has just updated his website on planning & facilitating OST meetings. There are some brilliant resources on it. It has something for everyone, from people who want to use OST for the first time to highly experienced facilitators of large group events: chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/a-r…. Thank you Chris.

UFCs require specialized judges with background in and knowledge of family law. This should include experience implementing children's rights, particularly their right to meaningful participation and voice. UFCs would be a significant step forward.

Released Yesterday - Check out this report based on the findings from the youth-organized and youth-attended Child & Youth Family Justice Conference. transformfamilyjusticebc.ca/news/child-you… @RCYBCyouth @A2JBC @TFJSCollab @scyofbc

Really excited about the potential for this project with our partners at @UofSCLaw and @FurmanU. a passion project for me understanding what helps families avoid the system altogether. the description of the construction of the gamecock Chihuly was interesting too

The BC Court of Appeal has re-affirmed that courts must take into account the impact of indirect violence on a child's best interests when deciding parenting arrangements, not just direct violence against the child. Huge victory for Rise and Rise Lawyer, Vandana Sood

#Divorce doesn't have to mean destroying your child's dreams. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ At FMG, we understand the profound impact of family conflict on children. By working together in #mediation, you can create a path that protects their dreams & nurtures a healthy, loving environment.

Through the beautiful doodles & words of children with cancer, we’ve captured their voice, needs & feelings -as well as their loved ones views “What matters to me?” Every service should centre it’s purpose around this question & find the answers A joy to draw this for @NWCCODN

"We need to change the way decisions get made..the decisions we make today are shaped by the people whose lives are going to be affected by them...involving young people in conversations & processes...to challenge our current systems..." thebodyshop.com/en-gb/about-us… #youthvoicesheard

Includes"..methods to embed children’s human rights approaches in practice: decision-making; budget allocation; inclusive communication; awareness raising; participation of children; child friendly complaints & advocacy, including case studies, good practice examples.."

Great work in Scotland:"This guidance on how public authorities, & other organisations, can take a children’s human rights approach aims to support this shift to ensure they consider the UNCRC in the delivery of their services and take actions now to make children’s rights real."

New book predicts : "Children will become more actively involved in the dispute resolution process ...The voice of the child will be heard more effectively in the formulation of parenting plans, and parenting plans involving extended family members will become common."

Divorce isn’t just a legal process; it’s a life transition. @stephmurrayyyy article for @TheAtlantic highlights why we must design solutions that consider the whole journey - emotional, practical, and financial aspects, not just legal rights. cc @hellodivorce

Prof. John Lande connects the dots between Kintsugi (the art of mending broken pottery), our own lives and conflict resolution. A very helpful metaphor. Also grateful for Jennifer Brown's cmention of Peter Mayer's song "Japanese Bowls". #comment-122730" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">indisputably.org/2023/12/decemb…
