Overview
Our simulations train you in the arts of negotiation and mediation through direct experience, by placing you in the position of negotiators and mediators. The exercises provide you with an insider’s view of a conflict and the concerns of individuals and groups involved, as well as allowing you to experience the pressures and unpredictability of diplomatic or political negotiations.

What makes us different?
We create a “mirror universe”, a true to life replica of the political and social context, the human dynamics and material realities that shape a conflict and are at play in a real negotiation. The simulations thus give you the opportunity to test both traditional and unconventional ideas about conflict mediation and take personal risks in an environment that is both challenging and respects confidentiality.Our approach »

What people say »
“The process of peacemaking, with all its pitfalls and road-blocks, is never clearer than during a simulation. The questions about why simpler, straightforward solutions do not work are answered when you are finally forced into the shoes of a negotiator.”
