2022 Mediation Awareness Week Mock Mediations
These sessions are intended to give you a birds eye view of various forms of mediation to help you understand more about the approaches and how they work to bring people together to work towards a resolution or greater understanding.
Event Description
Mock Mediations are a simulated demonstration of what happens in a mediation session.
Typically mediation sessions run for at least 2 to 3 hours with some styles of mediation convened as full day sessions.
Mock Mediation’s give you a sampler of what happens in mediation. They are not a re-enactment of a mediation session!
