Abstract

For my project in mediation and conflict resolution I will be learning the skills it takes to be a licensed mediator. To begin I will be going through the first part of SUU’s UNIV 4920-02 course. In this course I will first learn how to be a mediator in a 4 day lecture session. After the 4 sessions I will continue my practice with 4 more hours of role plays. The course will then give me an opportunity to shadow a mediator in the higher education sector. After 10 hours of mediation shadowing I will then be given the opportunity to volunteer as a mediator in the same sector. The volunteering will give me the real life experience for being a mediator. After the class is over I will have the knowledge and experience to be a mediator and lead others to a solution to any disputes they may have at home, in the workplace, or any other areas.

Goals

For my EDGE Project I will complete the conflict resolution/mediation training course including all hours of shadowing and volunteering

Objectives

I will gain a very helpful skill in a future career. I will be able to lead people to a healthy solution to these conflicts.

Deliverables

I will make a log of my hours shadowing and volunteering along with records of completion for the course. Photos at each stage will also be provided.
