Make Talk Work®
Bookmarks
The Make Talk Work® bookmark project consists of 24 bookmarks with tips on effective ways to manage talk with others. The bookmarks have been designed to provide the public with simple messages which draw on complex dispute resolution principles and processes. Regardless of the processes or techniques used by dispute resolvers, all dispute resolvers help to make talk work between and among individuals and groups. Since 9/11, the CUNY DRC has spearheaded a variety of public awareness educational projects as part of its Make Talk Work® initiative. All of the projects have been partnerships between the academic community and dispute resolution professionals. For the bookmark project, the partnership included the CUNY DRCand dispute resolvers in NYC with graphics designed by Susan Spivack and funding by the JAMS Foundation.

The City University of New York Dispute Resolution Consortium (CUNY DRC) at John Jay College of Criminal Justice-CUNY, is pleased to announce the winners of its 2009 Make Talk Work® International Video Competition. This video project, which was funded by the JAMS Foundation, seeks to increase public awareness about dispute resolution through the use of short videos of up to 60 seconds featuring any of the themes in the CUNY DRC's 24 Make Talk Work® bookmarks. The bookmarks, also funded by the JAMS Foundation, were created by the CUNY DRC and dispute resolvers in New York City with images designed by Susan Spivack. The terrific videos demonstrate how creative visual messages focusing on how to better understand and manage conflicts, differences and misunderstandings can be of value for people around the world. This is the second year that the CUNY DRC has sponsored this groundbreaking competition. All of the videos are posted on YouTube along with the winners of the first competition.
