" Developments in mediation - current challenges and the role of ROMED"

The training programme for Roma mediators launched in 2011 has certain features which make it unique in terms of the fundamental effects it produces, both in Europe at large and in the member states.

This work sets out to contextualise the initiatives taken, highlight their utility and evaluate them.  It is intended to provide guidance for the programme leaders, enable active participants – trainers, mediators, employers and others – to see their efforts as part of an overall scheme, help policy-makers to take the right decisions and describe and explain the operation to a broader readership.

The activities concerning Roma are a model for positive action here.  They make an effective contribution to European co-operation, action to combat discrimination and marginalisation and the search for ways to improve situations which need it.  ROMED therefore helps to fuel development of intercultural policies capable of managing present-day societies, of which diversity and pluralism are the hallmarks.
