Transformative mediation is an approach to conflict intervention that is used in a wide range of conflict intervention settings.

……………………………………

Zavod RAKMO, the Institute for Transformative Mediation Slovenia, organises the annual international training in transformative mediation. This training program provides an understanding of the core purpose and foundational principles of transformative practice. In addition to exploring the goals and effects of transformative intervention, this training provides practice with the core transformative intervention skills.

Through lecture, discussion, video illustrations, and skill building exercises, this training program grounds participants in an approach to mediation practice that is rooted in the assumption that conflict is a crisis in human interaction.

Training will be conducted by Marko Iršič,  Certified Transformative Mediator, the founder of the RAKMO Institute, and the author of the books The Art of Conflict Management, Mediation, Communication Wellness and Conflict Competence (all books will be available to purchase at the training).

Transformative mediation is based upon the view of conflict outlined in the book The Promise of Mediation by Robert A. Baruch Bush and Joseph P. Folger and it has been adopted in organizational, court, community and governmental settings. Transformative mediation has been used in family, neighbourhood, divorce, youth, multi-party disputes and has been adapted for conflict interventions that address team development and organizational disputes.The training is intended for mediators and mediation trainers trained in another approach of mediation but is open also for participants, that have no previous training in mediation.

In June 2014, in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Advance Training on Transformative Mediation with Professor Joseph Folger will be organized.

The Training will be conducted by the founding father of transformative mediation and co-author of the book The Promise of Mediation: Responding to Conflict through Empowerment and Recognition and The Promise of Mediation: The Transformative Approach to Conflict, which represents the ground literature work for transformative mediation, Joseph Folger.

This training program builds on the 4-day Basic Training in Transformative Mediation: Ideological Foundations and Practice in terms of detailed analysis and coaching in transformative mediation skills of practitioners who have adopted skills of transformative mediation in practice.

To experienced mediators this training offers an opportunity to develop their transformative conflict intervention skills. The training includes a review of the core principles that support transformative practice, including core assumptions about conflict and that the potential human beings have to act with a balance of empowerment and recognition.  The training will also review the main skills of transformative practice and examine how those skills support the constructive transformation of the parties’ interaction.

Participants will practice mediating during the training and will receive individualized, constructive feedback from the instructor to improve their work.  Finally, the course will address the challenges that transformative mediators often face in their practice, including challenges that stem from sustaining the value commitments of transformative practice and the communication/performance challenges of enacting the core skills.
