Our background association, the Finnish Mediation Forum, is holding its next free remote meeting this Wednesday. Read more information below!
April Mediation Lounge: How are you, mediator?
In the April Living Room Wednesday 1 April 4.00 PM–5.30 PM We'll have peer support and looking towards the future! We'll discuss what matters are currently of interest and concern to us as mediators. Based on this, we will also ask what themes should be addressed in future Lounges.
During the past winter, SSF's Living Rooms have:
- Summarised the yields from last spring's mediation days,
- Heard about the City of Turku's workplace mediation practices (a recording of Miia Aaltonen's presentation can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfooamBZGm8),
- spoken discussion on the quality of dispute resolution,
- learned from research on mediation and
- discussed what voluntariness means in practice in various mediation settings and how parties' motivation can be assessed (recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXpRwUeUgEM&t=2s)
Expert presentations are great, and we already have future themes in mind. But one of Olohuone’s important tasks is to provide an arena for discussion and listening to each other, so let that be our theme for April! What are the current burning questions in the field of mediation, and what information would be useful? Have you perhaps discovered something interesting that you would like to share with other mediators? We will also talk about the themes for future Olohuone sessions and are keen to hear your opinions on them. And what other activities would you hope SSF would offer?
Welcome, then, to our merry band! The event will be facilitated, as usual, by the people on the board of the Finnish Mediation Forum.
No separate registration is required. This invitation can be forwarded to others who are interested in the topic, if desired.
