Our unique International Mediation training course is built on our experience training police officers and community leaders in the Caribbean for the IMPACT Justice project (Improved Access to Justice in the Caribbean).

This project, funded by the Government of Canada, was designed to enhance dispute resolution processes and capacity throughout the CARICOM nations, with a focus on resolving disputes before litigation, using negotiation and mediation techniques.

In addition, Canada also has had a credible reputation since the 1950s as peace keepers to the world, through the work of the United Nations. When cultures in other countries have differences of opinion, Canadians help to work through them using mediation and negotiation techniques. Canadians have developed a knack for peaceful resolution of conflict, worldwide.

Our 40-hour International Mediation training course combines essential theory and practical experience, and will equip anyone seeking to develop their potential for conflict resolution in a community, organizational or legal context.

Students taking our International Mediation training course will learn how to:

  • Identify the real sources of the conflict
  • Help parties prepare to negotiate effectively
  • Be comfortable with any negotiation tactic or strategy
  • Overcome impasses caused by different negotiation styles
  • Work with difficult situations of high emotion
  • Help parties exchange proposals and move their mediation forward
  • Assess whether there is any risk of danger to the mediator or parties
  • Know when it is time to end a mediation
  • Effectively document mediation outcomes
    and more.
