Diplomacy & Peace Mediation in Action

​On a yearly basis, the Federal Foreign Office designs and realizes its Network Consolidation Programme for International Diplomats in close cooperation with the Center for Peace Mediation.

The first part of the interactive seminar focuses on preconditions for and features of successful mediation, offers practical mediation training and an interactive examination of conflict cases from all fields of international politics.

A series of creative problem-solving formats build the second part of the workshop. Here, the participants explore new perspectives on the conflicts in their own regions in order to identify potential entry points for the future.

The third part of the workshop takes place in a tailor-made 1-to-1 format. It offers participants a safe and focused environment to reflect on how to apply insights and competences gained in the program in their own working context, and identify their own possible role in and contribution to future mediation initiatives in their region.
