WS 1: Úloha dětského specialisty v rodinné mediaci (Lenka Poláková, Ondřej Toth) Language: Annotation: Cílem WS bude sdílení dobré praxe se zapojením a rolí dětského specialisty přímo v mediaci s dítětem. Účastnící WS budou mít příležitost diskutovat, vyjasňovat a zkoušet možné podoby zapojení dítěte přímo v mediaci za přítomnosti specialisty na dítě. Významnou roli hraje také samotná aktivita mediátora, jak pracuje s dalšími účastníky mediace (dítě, specialista na dítě), jak využívá možnost vnášení "hlasu" dítěte do mediace, popř. co jsou možné limity. WS 2: Komunikace s dítětem techniky, metody, pomůcky (Ondřej Bouša, Michaela Trávníčková) Language: Annotation: Workshop účastníkům představí pomůcky a techniky, které psychologové a sociální pracovníci UMPOD využívají v komunikaci s dítětem, zejména při zjišťování názoru, přání a aktuálně prožívaných emocí, případně informování dítěte. Na workshopu má každý účastník možnost vyzkoušet si použití některých z prezentovaných z pomůcek a navázat tak kontakt s dítětem jinak než pouze verbálně. Dále bude mít možnost reflektovat svůj prožitek a diskutovat s přítomnými pracovníky UMPOD. Součástí workshopu bude také diskuze o možnostech a limitech práce s dítětem. 6/9

The advantages and disadvantages of CIM to both children and their parents The importance of Standards in making CIM work WS 6: Child inclusive mediation with children with special needs (Lesley Allport) Language: Annotation: This is an interactive workshop which will explore ways in which mediators can adopt a child inclusive approach and ensure that the views of children and young people are heard and considered in decisions that affect their lives.
