MEDIATION : AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR RESOLVING CONFLICT
Mediation is not a negotiation. It is infinitely more than that, the mediator offering the people concerned a place of exchange which, thanks to a specific methodology, allows them to express themselves in a confidential framework in order to try to find a solution to the dispute between them.
To act as a mediator, the professional must therefore have undergone in-depth training in negotiation techniques and non-violent conflict management. It is only through such training that he will be able to facilitate discussion, put difficulties into words and guide reflection towards the search for solutions without judgment or advice.
