“Mediation is the intervention into a dispute or negotiation by an acceptable, impartial and
neutral third party to assist disputing parties in voluntarily reaching their own mutually
acceptable settlement of issues in dispute.” (Moore, C. 2003)

PS By the way, do you happen to know whether it is possible to transfer Australian Postgraduate Award PhD scholarships between unis (I am enrolled at UNSW in Visual Anthropology, but am finding it doesn't fit my interests in peacebuilding)?

Violance,war,conflicts,sufferings my desire to see world in peace and non violance has motivated me to join this network."Vasudev kutukbkam" entire world as a family, this was a teaching of our culture and traditional.we created countries,boundries,religions,cast,race for a genuine reason or a false reasons for any reason.but this the time to realise that we are one and we naturaly interconected with each other ,which we can just realise by watching inhale and exhale of breaths the source is same ,without any descrimanation,religion,bonundries, equaly for all living life of universe .When we understand this simple thing then we must understand how our and other's life is equaly important,valuble ,respectable .we should follow the nature's rule ,non violance .peace ,god has given us a human life not for destruction but for lookafter the wellbeing of all living life.
i shall be happy if you could include me in your circle of friends
I would be interested in knowing more about the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies and your research on the Philippines. I had the chance to get in touch with peacebuilding initiative in Mindanao and I was really impressed.
Best wishes
