Welcome to WMO
The World Mediation Organization serves as a platform that promotes respectful intercultural and non-armed understanding. We believe that „Mediation is a social core skill that lies veiled within each of us.“ By using the term of Mediation, we want you to understand that Mediation is not a single method but more likely a conglomerate of diverse competencies and skills.
By promoting a constructive dialogue within an area of mutual respect and non-escalated armed conflict (previously named: ‘culture of peace‘), it is intended to make the individual reflect in order to identify a person’s point of view, to raise awareness towards social and political conceptions, and to communicate knowledge that may assist in creating enduring solutions to conflicts and tensions created by human interactions, states, and organizations.

NetherlandsI am graduate student of International Relations and Organisations at Leiden University. My passion for diplomacy and public policy brought me to work for the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The objective of the internship was to find creative strategies to support the diversification of Venezuelan exports to the EU, increasing secondary industry exports. I am now also working for the Centre for African Peace Justice and Human Rights that cooperates with public and private stakeholders and local governments to provide safe, non-violent and effective learning environments in the African continent.My Interest to join the World Mediation Organisation stems from the belief that culture sensitive, inclusive and fair mediation practices have great preventative and reparative power at the international level. I am a strong supporter of within-reach and accessible mediation trainings to foster and cultivate mutual understandings and cultures of non-violence and conciliation. I believe these types of training produce widespread individuals’ empowerment and provide the foundations of a cooperative international community.NetherlandsMultilingual and international researcher with previous experience working as a freelance writer for a non-profit online magazine and for a relationships charity. I hold a Bachelor of Arts with the highest distinction in Drama, a testament to my expertise in interpersonal communication and creative problem-solving. My academic journey continued with a Master’s in Mediation and Conflict Resolution from Euclid University. My research is currently centered on discovering the positive potential within conflict and considering post-colonial perspectives in examining resource wars, proxy wars, and so-called ‘failed states.’To become part of the growing movement for intercultural understanding and education of global complexity and interconnectedness, using this evolving comprehension to contribute to research, discussions, and solutions for de-escalating world conflicts and tensions.IndiaI have worked on various legal projects throughout the years, but majorly I have been a researcher throughout all of them. I worked as a paralegal to criminal and civil lawyers in my state. I have been a legal/politico-legal content writer and editor at various publishing houses like the International Review of Human Rights Law, Libertatem Magazine. I was a research assistant to PhD scholars and Professors for almost six months of law school. Legal journalism has been my way throughout law school and it remains to be my source of inspiration.I was introduced to mediation in the penultimate year of my law school. Although I had a vague idea about what mediation was and how it worked even before law school, I realised its true potential only after coming to law school. Law as a subject never appealed to me, as I thought it was too chaotic and negatively sourced. The failing legal systems and the courts in my country further fueled this view. The results were always bridled with inequality, and that did not sit well with me. I was a skeptical, idealistic lawyer until I found alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. So mediation was my only saving grace. Mediation showed me there could be balance in legal systems too, parties can actually walk away with peaceful settlements and mended relations. That might be too far of an expectation but it is still a possibility in mediation unlike traditional dispute resolution mechanisms. In the near future, mediation might be one of the only ways out of a traditional and messy litigation system. And by joining this organization I would like to be part of that problem-solving dynamic, forming great trustworthy ecosystems that bring a balance among the stakeholders involved. I want to spread mediation to every corner of the world despite the inequalities.
