On July 18, 2024, a three-day training within the framework of the Erasmus+ project Art of Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (Mediation) / ArtNoConflict, Dordrecht, the Netherlands, where KROK University is represented by PhD in Law, Associate Professor of the Department of State Law Disciplines of the Faculty of Law Inna Dolianovska and Associate Professor of the KROK Business School, Ph. Natalia Kalinina. The last two days of the training were devoted to discussing such issues as: how to prevent conflict? how not to deepen the conflict situation even further, with the impossibility of any reconciliation? what communication tools are best used to help the parties understand each other? finally, how to encourage the parties to hear each other to find the best solution with the help of an intermediary - a mediator? how to turn conflict into productive communication. 

These important questions will form the basis of the training programme for young people from Ukraine, Georgia, and the Netherlands, which will help them to acquire skills in non-violent communication and conflict de-escalation using mediation tools. 

The KROK University team is sincerely grateful to the training organiser - the Netherlands Business Academy and the Academy's rector, Professor Jan van Zwieten, as well as to the trainers from the NLBA and Mykolas Romeris University (Vilnius, Lithuania). Let's keep working on the project!
