Mediation is of the heart. It involves people. At another level its an attitude.
An attitude that when conflicts stay unresolved cause agony to both the parties involved in a dispute. Many conflicts involve families, neighbours, friends and companies. They could have complicated issues or very simple matters. When they are not addressed they grow into serious problems and what is worst is they land up in a court.
The method of street plays has been probably the oldest in any civilisation.
A theatre group or any individual actor who understands meditaion could put up small plays, skits etc., high lighting the concept of mediation.
Plays speak much more than speeches do, people identify themselves with the characters and act upon the message more faster than any other medium. The immediate response of the audience is what attracts serious actors to take up acting in theatre rather than in movies because of the instant connect.
Specially in villages this method would be highly successful. The rural areas are the places where the country still lives. However, owing to the changing scenario where the people are moving to the cities for better employment opportunities has created a certain void in the village lives.
The youth are wasted as they generally languish aimlessly. They get into wrong habits which leads to crimes in villages.
The illiteracy levels are quiet high and people actually do not go to courts as they should. The street plays would address the importance of even going to a court to begin with whenever it is needed.
The street plays could be performed in colleges, around court halls, in central areas of cities.
This requires an awareness drive. The street plays could also be filmed and posted in public domains on the net.
An interested group would be welcome to get together. This is easiest done by college students as a pert of the project to generate awareness are my thoughts.
