The purpose of mediation and conflict management is to resolve the dispute peacefully and promote mutual understanding at the social, organizational, legal and political levels.
Conflicts are an integral part of life and this is normal. To resolve and manage conflicts and disputes, an effective mechanism such as mediation was invented. Mediation arises due to the need to resolve personal, relational, structural and cultural conflicts that arise in social, business and private settings.
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in demand for mediators to resolve conflicts in the public arena, and the demand in mediation of private sector companies and organizations has been increasing recently.

In KROK Business School program, the key was the presence of a European component, and therefore international experience, which I consider very important. It is in the world and Europe that mediation already has more than 30 years of practical experience in application.

Expectations regarding the completeness of the course and the thoroughness of the approach were fully justified and even abundant. I was very pleased with the amount of practice and the degree of personal involvement of each participant in the development of practical skills.
