QUADRA is proud to announce its second annual conference on transformative mediation (link to the first edition) in Rome. It is an opportunity for the entire international mediation community to share ideas and experiences, so to enhance practice and align to world-class standards.

Quadra, the ADR division of Tiaki s.r.l. is a private accredited provider of ADR services, including mediation. It supports a client-centred approach to conflict and has been utilising it for years in civil and commercial disputes.

The ISCT (Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation) is a think-tank dedicated to supporting the development of resources for conflict resolution field, as well as supporting practitioners and policy-makers who wish to pursue the transformative approach. It was founded in 1999 by Robert A. Baruch Bush, Joe Folger, Dorothy Della Noce and Sally Ganong Pope in affiliation with the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University – USA.

Quadra and the ISCT have been partners since 2011 in promoting the transformative approach in Europe.

This is the second annual conference on of the transformative model, and its great potentialities. It is the only event of this kind available in Europe in 2013.

The Day 1 morning session is aimed to enlighten the current state-of-art of mediation practice and the perspectives offered by the transformative model, and to release the results of an extensive survey undertaken in the course of the first months of 2013 among a large number of practicing mediators, and mediation institutes. Simultaneous translation English/Italian will be offered.

The workshops that occupy the rest of the Conference will cover specific topics, and areas of expertise; they will run partly in parallel. Each workshop will be coordinated by experts of the field, so to create a unique opportunity to discuss relevant major issues, and specific techniques. Workshops working language will be either Italian or English. A translation support will be offered, if needed.

There also two special trainings offered at the Conference:

▶ The 2nd international edition of the course in transformative mediation techniques. With Carlo Mosca and Winnie Backlund

2nd International edition of the course in Transformative Mediation techniques.
With Carlo Mosca and Winnie Backlund

Quadra is organizing the second international edition of the course in transformative mediation techniques. The course is a unique opportunity to practice the transformative method under the guidance of Carlo Mosca and Winnie Backlund. The event, organized in four days in which the participants will acquire the skills necessary for the exercise of transformative mediation, is particularly indicated to those mediators who wish to approach them-selves for the first time to this technique.

Participants will gain an understanding of the theory and basic skills necessary for the practice of transformative mediation which includes:

- Understanding transformative conflict theory and the concepts of empowerment and recognition.
- An understanding of the relationship between a third party intervener's motivations and the interventions used in practice;
- The skills to focus on and attend to the moment-by-moment interactions of the participants;
- The ability to truly facilitate and engage in non-directive interventions which respect the participants' competence and good faith;
- The capacity to take a responsive rather than directive or evaluative role in intervention.

Transformative Practice:  Core Purpose and Key Challenges

This interactive workshop will provide an opportunity to explore the underlying premises of the transformative approach to mediation practice and to address the key challenges it raises in practice.  How does a mediators' underlying purpose shape his or her specific approach to practice during interventions?  What should a mediation process look like if we assume that conflict is a crisis in human interaction?  What third party role and interventions support the transformation of the parties' conflict from the bottom up? 

This workshop will address three types of challenges that transformative conflict intervention practitioners often face.  Specifically, it will cover: 

Value challenges – when and why the core commitments of the model are difficult to sustain in practice; 

Cognitive challenges – the mental orientation and cognitive agility needed to perform the skills of a transformative practitioner; and 

Communication challenges – the communication skills a mediator needs to enact a transformative intervention.
