While I can’t physically drag and drop items, I can certainly provide you with the general order of steps in mediation. Here are the typical steps involved:
- Introduction: The mediator introduces themselves and explains the process.
- Opening Statements: Each party has an opportunity to present their perspective on the issue.
- Identifying Issues: The mediator helps the parties identify the key issues that need to be addressed.
- Exploring Interests: Both parties discuss their underlying interests and needs related to the issues.
- Generating Options: The mediator encourages brainstorming of potential solutions.
- Evaluating Options: The parties discuss and evaluate the feasibility of the generated options.
- Negotiating Agreement: The parties work together to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement.
- Closure: The mediator summarizes the agreement and discusses next steps.
You can use this list to arrange the steps in the correct order.
