FAQs

Mediation is a guided dialogue process in which people, with the help of an impartial mediator, uncover their true needs, listen deeply to one another, and build fair and lasting solutions together.
It is a safe, confidential, and human-centered space, designed so that every voice is acknowledged and each agreement arises from mutual understanding.
The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) process is voluntary, allowing conflicts to be resolved without going to court. It is based on dialogue, cooperation, and the willingness of the parties involved. In these processes, participants rely on a neutral facilitator to reach a satisfactory agreement.
