** Conferencing it is essentially
a facilitated conversation among the community of people affected
by a given situation (generally up to 40 people). It may be
a dispute or more probably a series of disputes; it may be
a stress or tension that needs to be addressed by the group.
Participants share their views on what has happened and how
each person has been affected. They then draw on their personal
knowledge of the situation to arrive collaboratively at an
outcome. In the process, participants change the nature of
their relationships to each other, transforming conflict into
cooperation.
