The location will be in the old town of Tallin. Enjoy a 4-day intensive training by Arthur Trossen accompanied and organized by Arno Baltin and Meeli Laane. Enjoy becoming the best mediator ever!

The plan about the plan

The idea came up from the insight, that the usual derivation of mediation from the Harvard concept is not precisely explaining why things happen how in mediation. Due to the history of our association, we had – perhaps more than other schools – to deal with the question about the substantial core of mediation. The answer culminated in the so-called cognitive mediation theory. With it, mediators have a systematic and consistent concept that allows them to plan the mediation step by step very precisely and carry it out in line with benchmarks. That’s unique in the world. Mediation no longer is based on a gut feeling. In fact the summer school is dedicated to teaching mediation based on the cognitive mediation theory.

The training offer

The training offer is aimed at mediators (beginners or advanced mediators). The offer is not intended as a full training but as an extension and deepening. The training will be a work on cases, where functional units of mediation and the interactions between them will become visible in order to let mediation doing the work.

Participants will learn why and how mediation becomes a sure-fire success and how the mediator can feel its flow. Participants will learn the different ways and kinds of mediation and how to distinguish mediation from other procedures precisely, about scientific backgrounds, the systemic structure, the meaning of cognition, how to be and how to use the meta level, and so on. Finally they will know how it will become possible to let mediands gain insights in order to let them find best solutions. The result will be a deep understanding of mediation, the knowledge how to deal with difficulties coming up in mediation, how to steer along benchmarks and what to do, if mediation doesn’t work as it should. Though the training is about mediation in general, participants are free to ask questions about mediation in all the fields and ways possible.

Your  main trainer will be Arthur Trossen. He is a very well experienced 3-star-mediator with an international background.

The idea behind

The summer school will be held for the first time in Estonia (Tallin). In Estonia it will be carried out together with Arno Baltin and Meeli Laane. Trainer is Arthur Trossen. In future, summer school will be held in other countries as well. Then it will be done in cooperation with other local trainers from the countries where the summer school will take place. The plan is to introduce and teach integrated mediation abroad and to help countries to get known of mediation based on the cognitive mediation theory.
