BELIEVING. WORKING. INSPIRING.

With the aim of expanding family mediation and promoting it as a way of peaceful settlement of conflicts in early 2017, with the support of the National Association of Mediators of Ukraine, a Volunteer Project on Cooperation between the Ukrainian Center for Mediation (www. Ukrmediation.com.ua) and the Kyiv district Children’s Services.

In 2017 cooperation agreements were signed with five districts of Kyiv and the City Center for Children.

Active development is also due to the interest and support of the project by the Children’s Services, and the involvement and efforts of volunteers who participate in the project.

In December 2017, a public organization "League of Mediators of Ukraine" was created to ensure further development of the project and popularization of mediation as a peaceful way of resolving conflicts. Today, the organization unites and coordinates the work of 30 volunteers.
