SUMMARY:Roleplay and fishbowl practical (3 FAMAC CPD points)
DESCRIPTION:Our Roleplay and fishbowl workshop is specifically designed for mediators who want to move beyond theory and put their skills to the test in a safe\, structured\, and supportive environment. Whether you are newly qualified or have been practising for some time\, the ability to handle real-world dynamics with confidence comes only through deliberate\, guided practice. This hands-on workshop places participants in realistic mediation scenarios\, allowing them to refine their technique\, test different approaches\, and develop the kind of situational awareness that only comes with experience. It is the ideal space to make mistakes\, learn from them\, and grow — without the pressure of a live case. \nThe fishbowl format is at the heart of this workshop\, offering a uniquely powerful learning experience where participants take turns mediating while the rest of the group observes and reflects. This method creates rich opportunities for peer feedback\, honest discussion\, and collective insight that classroom learning simply cannot replicate. Observers gain as much as those in the chair — watching others navigate difficult moments\, manage emotional escalation\, and apply core mediation principles in real time is an education in itself. Facilitated debrief sessions after each round ensure that every participant leaves with clear\, actionable takeaways to immediately strengthen their practice. \nDate: 1 August 2026 from 09:00 – 13:00 \nCost: R400 (members)\, R600 (non-members) \nVenue: To be confirmed \nRegistration link: https://forms.gle/cq9iMVoVNemdE1yC9
