Om programmet

In this program you will have a chance to learn, experience and practise mediation skills. We will practise informal mediation as well as formal mediation, reconciliation as well as mediation around a certain dilemma. We will form a group that supports the learning from inside out. Welcome to a year-long practical training based on learning mediation skills with the approach of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

First part: navigation with maps, skill-training, creating clarity through key differentiations and litterature. We touch on areas such as how shame influences conflict, trust-building in mediation, perspective taking, group developmental processes etc.

Second part consists of mediation practice, feedback with video-recordings, and Q/A with trainers. Learning mediation is similar to learning a music instrument. It might help to have a theoretical understanding and at the same time it is from the skills practise your ability from. Our advice is to apply to this training only if you are ready to dive into this.

We start out in August with leaderled sessions to get everybody going. After this small mediation groups will be formed and you will get a structure for your practise. The practise is central if you want to really integrate mediation. Then follows periods of practise and periods of presentations of new parts of how to approach mediation. The last part of the training, summer of 2025, has a long structured practise period that you in your smaller groups can plan as it fits you best. During this period you can film sessions where you mediate and share it, get feedback and suggestions on what to work on.

We will have a group forum where you can post questions, reflections, learnings, and where we trainers will take part and answer with words or small films or recordings.
