Workshop Description:
In this two-day workshop, participants will be given an opportunity to practice the skills and process of mediation.
Experienced mediators provide coaching to help guide the role-plays and to provide feedback to the workshop participants. Individuals are videotaped during the mediation role plays and the coach reviews the video with each individual mediator to provide an extensive evaluation. Participants also have the opportunity to deepen understanding of mediation concepts and approaches by exploring issues and dynamics that arise during the role plays.
Objectives:
Participants attending this workshop will:
+ Increase comfort with the process of mediation through focused practice
+ Integrate the skills learned in Mediation Skills Level I in an evaluative environment.
+ Further develop the ability to use conflict resolution approaches to facilitate parties through the mediation process.
