Over the next several months, Riverdale Mediation Ltd. will be training civic leaders in various Caribbean nations in Alternative Dispute Resolution, in collaboration with the Improved Access to Justice in the Caribbean project (IMPACT JUSTICE).
This week, Associate Elizabeth Hyde is leading three of our former interns (and all mediators on the mediate393 inc. roster) in a week-long training of 35 community leaders in Grenada.
Hosted by the University of West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, the training is part of a five year regional justice sector reform project funded by the Government of Canada. The project goal is to enhance access to justice for the benefit of women, men, youth and businesses in CARICOM member states.
The training provided by Riverdale focuses on the ADR component of the project, designed to facilitate increased knowledge and use of ADR processes as a means of settling disputes at an early stage without court interventions.
Focusing on civil, community and family mediation process design and skills, the four Riverdale trainers will lead the program participants through five days of intensive theory and skills training in conflict analysis, negotiation theory, mediation practice and skills training, mediation and negotiation role playing and de-briefing, and discussions about ethics, liability and codes of conduct for mediators.
The training is approved by the ADR Institute of Ontario towards its civil mediation designation.
