Summary: The text discusses the concept of transformative mediation, providing an overview of its principles and characteristics. Transformative mediation focuses on empowering parties in a conflict to communicate effectively, while also recognizing their own self-worth and autonomy. By encouraging active participation and cooperation, this form of mediation aims to foster a deeper understanding between the conflicting parties and to facilitate the transformation of their relationship. Transformative mediation prioritizes the individual growth and recognition of parties' perspectives, rather than solely focusing on reaching a settlement. Through promoting empowerment and recognition, transformative mediation seeks to address the underlying issues driving the conflict and to empower parties to make informed decisions that align with their values and needs.
