Community Mediator Orientation Program
30 November / 01 December 2012, Cochin, Kerala
(12 hours – 2 days)
Are you interested to become a Community Mediator? It takes courage and patience to take up the responsibility of becoming a mediator. It’s a leadership skill that is well worth developing and honing. Apart from the acceptance and honour given by the community, it also gives absolute satisfaction of becoming peace builders in our community.
Who qualifies to become a community Mediator? There is no specific qualification for a mediator. People from a wide variety of backgrounds can make good mediators – retired people, house wives, professionals, youth etc. They have to be persons who have a good repute in the local area with integrity and sense of fairness in public dealing. Basically they have to have the fear of God, a concern for humanity, passion for mediation, and be guided by love and stand for peace.
The Program is intended for mediators who would like to empanel with the IIAM CMS Clinics as Community mediators or would like to start IIAM Community Mediation Clinics themselves. The Program will explore underlying negotiation orientations and strategies and through discussion, simulations, exercises and role-plays, it will focus on the structure and goals of the mediation process and the skills and techniques mediators use to aid parties in overcoming barriers to dispute resolution. The training also gives emphasis on the code and ethical standards of mediation. The program offers you the opportunity to learn what is necessary to become a mediator yourself.
