Mediation at PON
The goal of mediation is for a neutral third party to help disputants come to consensus on their own. Rather than imposing a solution, a professional mediator works with the conflicting sides to explore the underlying interests beneath their positions. The Program on Negotiation offers a number of mediation programs that will provide your with core mediation skills as well as with advanced programs that can take your mediation skills to the next level.
