Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanism based on the dialogue between parties, facilitated by a mediator, aimed at the construction of an agreement that satisfies their interests.
It empowers individuals, families and communities by providing them with the necessary knowledge, resources and strategies to create meaningful solutions that will work for all parties involved. With the right support, mediation can be a powerful and transformative tool for resolving conflicts and improving relationships.
With this course it is intended that the students become familiar with the characteristics of mediation, its procedure and its practical application.
Students will also acquire communication and conflict management techniques and will develop ethical and cultural awareness, emotional sensitivity, personal empathy, creativity, and balance.
