Summary:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

So far known mostly in commercial disputes \u2013 mediation gains recognition as one of the most efficient and constructive way of solving conflicts.<\/p>\n

The course is based on non-formal education methodology and will have a form of practical exercises and simulations.
