MEDIATION FOR CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION
-
CURRENT TRENDS AND FUTURE POSSIBILITIES

 

QUADRA's second annual conference on transformative mediation (link to the first edition) is an opportunity for the entire international mediation community to share ideas and experiences, so to enhance practice and align to world-class standards.

Quadra, the ADR division of Tiaki s.r.l. is a private accredited provider of ADR services, including mediation. It supports a client-centred approach to conflict and has been utilising it for years in civil and commercial disputes.

The ISCT is a think-tank dedicated to supporting the development of resources for conflict resolution field, as well as supporting practitioners and policy-makers who wish to pursue the transformative approach. It was founded in 1999 by Robert A. Baruch Bush, Joe Folger, Dorothy Della Noce and Sally Ganong Pope in affiliation with the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University – USA.

Quadra and the ISCT have been partners since 2011 in promoting the transformative approach in Europe.

This is the second annual conference on of the transformative model, and its great potentialities. It is the only event of this kind available in Europe in 2013.

The Day 1 morning session is aimed to enlighten the current state-of-art of mediation practice and the perspectives offered by the transformative model, and to release the results of an extensive survey undertaken in the course of the first months of 2013 among a large number of practicing mediators, and mediation institutes. Simultaneous translation English/Italian will be offered.

The workshops that occupy the rest of the Conference will cover specific topics, and areas of expertise; they will run partly in parallel. Each workshop will be coordinated by experts of the field, so to create a unique opportunity to discuss relevant major issues, and specific techniques. Workshops working language will be either Italian or English. A translation support will be offered, if needed.
