On July 18, 2024, a three-day training within the framework of the Erasmus+ project «The Art of Negotiation and Conflict Resolution (Mediation) / ArtNoConflict», Dordrecht, the Netherlands took place. «KROK» University was represented by Inna Dolianovska, PhD in Law, Associate Professor of Department of State Law Disciplines of the Faculty of Law, and Nataliia Kalinina, PhD in Philosophy, Associate Professor of KROK Business School.

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 program 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 team of «KROK» University is sincerely grateful to the organizer of the training - the Netherlands Business Academy and the Rector of the Academy, Prof. Jan van Zwieten, coaches from the NLBA and Mykolas Romeris University (Vilnius, Lithuania). We continue to work on the project!
