Learning Objectives:

· Engage in community building, self-reflection & the integration of mediation skills into daily practice

· Identify core values and techniques of community mediation

· Unpack ideology around conflict and communication styles

· Examine power, privilege, and social inequity as it relates to conflict and mediation practices

· Practice mediating conflict together in preparation for taking on this role

Our approach to mediation is best suited for individuals working within communities or institutions who would like formal ways of supporting conflict as a third party that are distinct from Restorative Justice and generally outside the criminal legal system. If you would like to be mediator for court cases or other legal situations, this training is not the best fit. Additionally, CCEJ is not responsible for finding mediation roles for facilitators after their completion of the training.
