MEDIATION TRANING

Turning Conflict into Constructive Solutions
At Islamabad Center for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), we believe that not all disputes belong in the courtroom. Some require empathy, not arguments. Dialogue, not delay. That’s where mediation comes in—a potent, structured, and transformative process that offers people a dignified path to resolution.
Mediation is a collaborative process facilitated by a neutral third party, known as the mediator, who helps disputing parties communicate effectively, clarify misunderstandings, and helps parties find solutions that reflect both their needs and rights. Unlike litigation, where outcomes are imposed, mediation empowers parties to create their own agreements—solutions that are often more meaningful, lasting, and human.
Our trained and accredited mediators employ diverse communication and negotiation techniques to guide the process, helping participants move from confrontation to cooperation. Whether the conflict is personal, professional, or community-based, mediation transforms the emotional charge into a purposeful conversation.
