Cross-Border Family Mediation 7 – 13 September 2014
Mediation in International Conflicts Involving Parents and Children Cross-Border Family Mediation 7 – 13 September 2014 This 50-hour advanced training course aims to qualify practicing family mediators to mediate crossborder family disputes, including international child abduction, access and custody cases. The course will cover the relevant legal aspects of international family conflicts, including national family law, 1980 and 1996 Hague Conventions and the Brussels II bis Regulation. Participants will receive an overview of organizations in Europe which provide cross-border mediation in parental child abduction cases and will be introduced to tools and methodologies for mediating high conflict cases. Case studies and role plays will be an integral part of the course. Drawing on the participants’ experience, we will examine the issues of mediating across cultures and interdisciplinary cooperation. We look forward to working with legal, psychosocial and educational professionals from a variety of cultural backgrounds and nationalities. A maximum of 25 participants will be accepted for the course. MiKK is an internationally recognized NGO that has been working for more than 10 years to promote and organize the mediation of international family conflicts. The concept employed in this training was developed and piloted in the context of the EU Civil Justice project “Training in International Family Mediation” 2010 – 2012. MiKK trainers have conducted similar seminars in Berlin, Brussels, Australia, Japan and Russia. Participants who complete the training may join the MiKK pool of mediators and the Network of European International Family Mediators (www.crossbordermediator.eu).
