ADVANCED MEDIATION SEMINAR (10h)
This one day and a half (14h) improvement seminar is provided to mediators already active in the field. It deals with some of the problems inherent in civil and commercial mediation, describing actual situations and analyzing the different interventions brought to bear in each instance. It fills the criteria for maintaining accreditation.
Dates : May 28th and 29th 2024 from 9AM to 5 PM, in Saint-Lambert (face-to-face if possible, online otherwise) - OPEN
$900 plus taxes, manual is included.
Participants: maximum 8
This course addresses the following themes:
- process problems
(absence of one party, lack of authority to settle,
failure to respect the process) - practical and ethical difficulties with regards to confidentiality
- the definition of impartiality and its application
- the mediator’s opinion, role, place, impact
- a party’s bad faith
- the mediator’s emotions with regards to the case, his power, the parties, and the outcome
- any questions brought up by the participants
- This course has the advantage of dealing with the above-mentioned topics based on actual, concrete situations, of analyzing the relevance of interventions brought to bear, and discussing any other form of intervention that might have been suitable. It addresses the range of possible interventions in order to properly define the mediator's role and showcases the fact that situations must be analyzed, case by case, in light of the mediator’s judgment rather than absolute theory. It also presents an excellent recap of the process's theory.
This training includes simulated mediation and exercises presented before the group to showcase the different styles of mediation and the variety of interventions that can be applied to the same situation. This allows all participants to practice and discuss different techniques.
