European Mediation Conference
Welcome EN | FR | DE
The Scottish Mediation Network and Mediation Northern Ireland were pleased to present a major international conference with exciting opportunities to discuss developments in the practice of mediation throughout Europe.

Almost ten years ago in Belfast, on Good Friday 1998, international mediators were acknowledged for their contribution to a milestone in the peace process in Ireland.

Ten years later, on the anniversary of the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement, we invited mediators from across Europe to gather in the city's Waterfront Hall for the 2008 European Mediation Conference: Building Relationships and Getting Results.

The opening day examined how mediation can be used to build peace, maintain social stability and promote dialogue in divided communities.

The second day  examined the diverse practices of mediators across Europe, and on the third day there was a half-day of training workshops, which provided mediators with a choice of further practical professional development opportunities.
