Mediation Training
Mediation is a process where someone who is not a participant of a dispute (the mediator), helps the disputing parties find options to resolve their conflict. The mediator does not provide advice or evaluate the outcome. This course provides the fundamental skills on how to be a mediator and also covers the policy framework around the management of mediation.
