The National Conflict Resolution Center’s signature workshop, The Theory and Practice of Mediation, gives participants a thorough understanding of conflict resolution, mediation theory, and interest-based negotiation. Much more than this theoretical framework, this NCRC training is known nationally and internationally for the practical, step-by-step process that helps people learn how to mediate in a very concrete way.
Learning the NCRC methodology empowers new mediators to navigate the unchartered territory of being a third-party neutral. Engaging discussion, participatory exercises, short demonstrations or lectures, and plenty of practice mediating make this course a meaningful learning experience for all participants, regardless of their background or plans for mediation. This course transforms how one looks at conflict and conflict resolution.
Curriculum includes:
- Conflict Theory
- Stages of Mediated Problem-solving
- Balancing Power
- Managing the Negotiation
- Strategic Communication Skills
- Handling Emotions and Impasse
- Mediator Ethics
- Drafting Agreements
- Role of Attorneys, Advisors and Dispute Resolution Professionals
