OFFICIAL WEBSITE / PROGRAM / REGISTRATION
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.
