Mediation in Racialized and Cultural Contexts
All Cultures Conflict Resolution Services offers a uniquely designed online Advanced Course “Mediation in Cultural Contexts”. This program is essential for culturally appropriate mediation practice, managers and other leaders who operate in multi-cultural and globalized contexts.

- Discuss cultural-other understandings of dispute resolution processes and procedures.
