With a core curriculum spanning community mediation, administrative tribunals, court dispute resolution processes, employment/labour law, family law, elder mediation, conflict resolution in health care and conflict management system design, the program uses intensive workshop training and community engagement to teach the core principles of negotiation, mediation and arbitration.
