Mediators Together

OUR MISSION 

The mission of Mediators Together is to activate individuals and groups worldwide to foster dialogue and prevent, de-escalate, and resolve conflicts with mediation techniques that everyone can learn and use. We aim to demonstrate that individuals have the ability to resolve the immense problems now confronting our world.

Our intention is to recognise that, around the globe, there are many situations of concern and conflicts of an international, regional, local, and even personal nature. We hope that this group can help focus our collective and individual efforts to find ways to resolve these conflicts and improve these situations by working together and sharing our knowledge and skills as mediators.
