SADC Mediation Training Workshop

In October 2012 the Centre ran a senior mediation training workshop in partnership with SADC. The aim was to enhance the expertise of SADC’s new mediation structures. The workshop participants included members of the SADC Panel of Elders, the Mediation Reference Group and the Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Co-operation. The workshop programme can be viewed here.

Senior Government Mediation Training Workshop

The Centre hosted a Senior Government Mediation Training Workshop from 29 November to 1 December 2011.

"The workshop has opened my eyes to some of the issues we take for granted. I work for the government, which is an active player in mediation, and this workshop has helped me to see the role our government is taking and to consider all the many issues involved." – Francis Moloi, Department of International Relations and Cooperation
