Peacemakers' Network

Peacemakers are trained and talented young candidates in the field of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and mediation who play a vital role in assisting professional arbitrators and mediators in resolving disputes. These individuals undergo specialized training programs to develop their skills and knowledge in conflict resolution techniques and ethical practices.

After completing their training, peacemakers become part of a dynamic network that offers invaluable networking opportunities and support for their career development. This network connects them with experienced professionals in the field, opening doors to new opportunities and collaborations.

Being part of the peacemakers network provides numerous benefits to these young candidates. They have access to a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for peaceful dispute resolution. Through networking events, workshops, and mentorship programs, peacemakers can enhance their knowledge, gain insights from seasoned practitioners, and expand their professional connections.

The peacemakers network also serves as a platform for career advancement. It offers a supportive environment where peacemakers can showcase their skills, collaborate on projects, and build a strong reputation in the field. This network often acts as a referral source, providing opportunities for peacemakers to engage in real cases and contribute to the resolution of disputes.

Furthermore, the network provides ongoing support and guidance to peacemakers as they navigate their careers. Mentors and senior professionals offer advice, share experiences, and provide constructive feedback, helping peacemakers refine their skills and excel in their chosen path.

By joining the peacemakers network, these young candidates not only gain valuable networking opportunities but also establish themselves as reliable and competent professionals in the field of ADR and mediation.
