INSIDE-OUT PRACTICE GROUP with Robin Brzobohaty and Martina Cirbusová
Would you like to practice your mediation skills but prefer to have an experience where you will analyze how mediation works rather than be the one who is under the pressure of being analyzed?
We do have a special practice session for you!
During this three hour session you will have the opportunity to see how mediators work and analyze their work - ask questions about their intentions, discuss their interventions, and have an opportunity to understand how they read the weaknesses and self-absorption of parties and why they offer specific interventions to the parties. You will have a chance to pause the mediation any time you will need, come back to specific situations, and analyze them in more detail.
prerequisite: basic transformative mediation training

Who the course is for:
This training is a significant revision of earlier trainings in transformative dialogue, so even if you have taken an earlier training there is much to learn here. New elements include expanded premises on identity and people in groups, incorporation of trauma-informed practice into the training, and centering discussions of race, culture and power in the training. Whether you are interested in organizing and facilitating conversations in your local community, or in your workplace or organization you belong to, or you are working in an area of ethnopolitical conflict, this training will be an excellent starting point for this work.
Virtual Component:
This component has self guided learning that includes watching videos and reading materials, and five virtual live meetings to engage and discuss with the trainers and the other students. Meetings will be recorded.
In Person Component:
Take what you've learning in the virtual component and dive deeper into the application and the practice with Transformative Fellow and Dialogue Practitioners, Judy Saul.
