Webinar
Led by International Mediator Campus
Registration is free
Registration Ended

The street is often a space where people gather to be heard. The Scottish-based Centre for Good Relations (Centre for Good Relations – Civic Mediation – HOME HOME ) has explored how mediation and dialogue can support protestors, the police and communities to navigate this space so that people can be heard, helping to balance the rights of parties in non-violent ways. In this webinar we will:

· share some learning from our experiences at COP 26 (Glasgow, November 2021) and other protests in England and Scotland,

· explore how spaces for mediation can be carved out in contested situations,

· consider how to prepare to intervene during protests,

· consider the role and limitations of mediation to enable better/constructive communication between stakeholders in protest situations

IMC’s mediator training was 20 weeks of constant learning! The support given to us throughout the course was highly notable and all the modules were well connected: we knew that with each module, we were building on the knowledge of the previous one in a very constructive manner.

Being an IMCampus alumnus is one of my greatest achievements. I was given the opportunity to sublime my mediation skills thanks to professional and skilled mediators; but most of all IMCampus helped me to broaden my horizon becoming the “consensus bridger” that I am now.

From the perspective of a student, my takeaway was, within this course, that it is not enough for you to study books alone. You have to do real practical sessions and the practices that we had in this training during these three months were really, really helpful for me.

Everything was so enriching and I loved this multicultural class. I think that was the main learning here because we learnt to be an international mediator because this is a huge cross-cultural mediation. When I need a co-mediator from another country, I will remember you.
