11/2/25: The Glencree Women’s Leadership Programme is excited to announce a new round of online Mediation Practice sessions in 2025, following a successful pilot year led by Sharon Crooks. These sessions are designed for women peacebuilders who are continuing their mediation training journey and are now eager to enhance their confidence in mediation processes and principles.
Building on the momentum from our recent OSCE Glencree Network Exchange, this initiative aims to foster collective capacity-building and strengthen relationships among women from both the Glencree All-Island Women’s Peacebuilding Network and the OSCE’s Dialogue Academy Alumni Network.
Each practice session will be a two-hour online event, featuring engaging role-play scenarios, facilitated by Sharon Crooks, allowing participants to practice their mediation skills in a supportive environment. Following each role-play exercise, participants will engage in a debrief to discuss their experiences and insights, further enhancing their skills and understanding of mediation dynamics. With a limit of 12 participants per session, this format ensures a personalised experience, allowing for focused learning and meaningful interaction.
The upcoming Mediation Practice sessions are scheduled as follows:
Prior to each session, practice materials will be provided to help participants prepare for the role-play scenarios. We ask attendees to join promptly at 3 PM to ensure a timely start.
These interactive mediation practice session are open to women who have undertaken prior mediation training (introductory training is sufficient. We now invite interested participants to REGISTER INTEREST as soon as possible by CLICKING HERE > .
The sessions will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to anticipated high demand, once all places are offered, we will operate a waiting list. If circumstances change after registration, we kindly ask registered participants to notify us so we can offer a place to others on the waiting list.
If you are interested in developing your mediation skills but have not yet undertaken any mediation training, the Glencree Women's Leadership Programme also facilitates Mediation Training Residentials throughout the year. No previous mediation training is required to participate in these residentials. For any questions or further information, please contact Amina Moustafa at amina.moustafa@glencree.ie.
