Together instead of against each other: mediation as an opportunity for families and schools

Target group

This seminar is aimed at mediators, educators, school social workers, counselors, coaches, trainers and all those who accompany people in their everyday lives and mediate in challenging situations.

Contents

Where people live, learn and work closely together, conflicts arise - often deeply emotional, sometimes loudly, often quietly. In families and schools, generations, expectations and needs collide. This is precisely where mediation can build bridges, create understanding and pave the way for joint solutions.

This practical day is all about gaining confidence and ease in dealing with such situations. You will practise using real case studies, learn how to deal with emotions confidently and be given tools to promote dialog even in deadlocked moments.

This practical day focuses on practicing and deepening these special mediation experiences.
