“The course experience was immensely helpful and enriching: I must say it was one of the highlights of my work in this field, and it was hands-down the best training course I have ever attended”.

“Swiss PMC is one of the longest-running and most comprehensive trainings available to mid-senior experts and practitioners to develop their negotiation, mediation and process design skills. With its updated curriculum that reflects current changes in the conflict landscape and their repercussions in the field of peace mediation, it was the best learning journey I have ever taken in my professional life”.

Özkan Duman, Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs

“The Peace Mediation Course was an outstanding opportunity to learn and deepen my knowledge in a field that is more than ever needed. The balance between theory and practice including the final role play truly provided a glimpse into mediation and negotiation. Putting us in the shoes and making us feel the difficulties, emotions, tensions and sensitivity of such fragile but critical processes”.

Paul Picard, OSCE Conflict Prevention Center
