INDIA INTERNATIONAL MEDIATION TRAINING

The program has been truly transformative for me. It provided profound healing from the challenges I faced early in my career while navigating court processes. It shifted my perspective, guiding me to see disputes as a natural part of human interaction. With a newfound understanding of emotions, I now feel empowered to handle difficult situations with ease. While I work as a corporate lawyer, I am drawn to engage in mediation-advocacy, aspiring to contribute as a peace facilitator in the long term. The program sparked my interest in exploring innovative ways to promote peace within society. On a deeper level, it has strengthened my spiritual journey, deepening my commitment to living in alignment with my values. I am grateful to have found a community of like-minded individuals who offer invaluable support along this path.

It’s been a great up-skilling process, discovering and learning how to use my strengths. It’s helped me find a new path to re-enter the work force after a long break.

This program helped me introspect a lot and learn new things about myself. Of course meeting other mediation lovers was awesome and I wish to stay in touch with them.

This program has been profoundly transformative for me. The mediation training opened my eyes to new perspectives and empowered me with invaluable conflict resolution skills. It was a life-changing experience that not only enriched my professional toolkit but also deeply impacted how I navigate relationships and interactions in all aspects of my life.

The endless possibilities which Mediation offers to parties in conflict for a satisfactory resolution is unmatched. The program has been instructive and effective.

More than upskilling this course has been a journey of self discovery for me. Coming from a remote loaction this course gave me an oppurtunity to meet and interact with professionals sharing similar interests from different parts of the country. The learnings of this course are extremely relevant not only from a professional standpoint but also in fulfilling one's personal development goals. Post this course, I am definitely a better listener who has build some capacity towards confronting disputes more openly and maturely.

A transformative journey towards "Mediation" filled with a lot of learnings, intellectual satisfaction and meaningful connections. A rewarding experience that has enriched both personally and professionally.

The program gave me a deeper insight into myself and provided me with an introduction to mediation, while further nuancing my understanding of Restorative Justice- my current area of work. Given that the Mediation Act, 2023, is now in force, this learning helps me to contribute to processes aimed at using mediation for children and families. With a basic understanding of Therapeutic Jurisprudence, I was enthused to see how mediation requires a different approach to justice and lawyering - one that is refreshingly grounded in needs, interests and rights, as well as ethics and principles, while valuing the role of emotions and the primacy of human relationships. The course has opened up avenues for me to explore mediation while also being a Restorative Justice practitioner in the Indian context. Since I also work part-time in an international faith-based organization on the issue of Safeguarding, I am also exploring the possibility of enabling the organization to institutionalize a mediation centre through which mediation could help prevent the escalation of conflict, and also serve as a means to meaningfully respond to harm where appropriate.

Since I took up the programme in the middle of my legal education, it was an experience that really expanded my perspective of what legal disputes are. I've not only improved as a resolver of disputes, but have also developed stronger interpersonal skills, sensitivity, and the ability to connect better with people who come to me for any sort of help. This, I feel, will be instrumental in my legal career, whether as a mediator or a solicitor, as building a rapport with clients and human beings is a skill that can set one apart from the rest.

The program has helped me learn, unlearn and draw inspiration from the experiences of various mediators speaking on the mediation process and the concept of mediator mindset.

I’m thankful to be part of this program. It has enriched my perspectives and knowledge! My classmates are all so smart and I learn a lot from them too.

The ability to truly foster an environment to think outside the proverbial box as well as actively encouraging it - even though what I sought to convey may have questioned established norm. Successful completion of this course has helped me positively evolve my way of being, in all aspects of my life.
