Better Reflecting Mediation to the World

While mediators often assist in the creation of miracles behind closed doors, our miraculous work and effective approaches are still not well-understood by general society. Essentially, mediation represents respectful discussion and a search for optimized solutions, just what our world needs!  Might a more effective way of “reaching the masses” be to take advantage of mediation art?
