2021 UIA MEDIATION FORUM Prize

The creation and organization of the UIA MEDIATION FORUM Prize by the President of the UIA World Forum of Mediation Centres is directly related to the purpose of the UIA World Forum of Mediation Centres. That purpose is to raise awareness of the utility of mediation in any field, not only amongst current users but also amongst the younger generation and students, offering them the chance to meet with professionals working in mediation, providing the opportunity to enhance practice, and gathering different generations in the UIA MEDIATION FORUM. 

The UIA MEDIATION FORUM Prize is awarded to a student under 30 years of age in recognition of the best report presented at and related to the UIA World Forum of Mediation Centres attended, on the basis of the quality of the report's content.

The UIA World Forum of Mediation Centres was created in 2001. It brings together the best commercial mediation practitioners and ADR centres from around the world, together with managers, academics, teachers, trainers, young practitioners, and all those interested in learning more about mediation.

The Forum takes place every 9 months in different countries around the world. It fosters the exchange of views on the development of ADR, enhancing knowledge, and best practices, giving new ideas, ensuring the best understanding of ADR, and learning from other cultures. 

The worldwide health crisis caused by COVID-19 has driven us all to an unprecedented scenario and has led to no other alternative than to adapt ourselves to this situation. For the 2nd time the Forum will take place virtually.

This 29th Forum promises to be again very exceptional because it will be the opportunity to gather experiences, ideas, observations about development of mediation and make comparison to enhance our knowledge and our practice.  The virtual Forum with its 4 sessions will be exciting as usual and with the same quality substantive panels.

The reports must be submitted by July 25, 2021 at the latest.

The report must:
• Respect the format described in article 5-3 of the Rules below.
• Be accompanied by a picture of the participant, confirmation of name/surname, current full postal address and email, date and place (town and country) of birth, justification of being a student.
• Be accompanied with a separate letter inserting only two short handwritten sentences summarizing, in one of the working languages of the UIA (French, English or Spanish), the reason(s) why the participant has decided to attend the UIA MEDIATION FORUM and to participate in the UIA contest organized by the Rules.  This separate letter, dated and signed by the author, will be scanned and sent with the report by email, as indicated in article 5-4 of the Rules, below.
• Indicate which is the native language of the author.

Please kindly find attached the Rules. These Rules lay down the terms and conditions for participating in the UIA World Forum of Mediation Centre contest and, if selected, being awarded the “UIA MEDIATION FORUM Prize”.
