UNDERSTANDING COURTS, EXPLORING MEDIATION
About the initiative
The Ukrainian Mediation Academy, in cooperation with the Association for the Development of Judicial Self-Government of Ukraine (ARSSU), is launching an updated format of educational school lessons aimed at fostering children's understanding of mediation, justice, and the culture of dialogue.
The initiative was launched in 2018, when the ARSSU organized the first nationwide legal campaign, during which lawyers and judges introduced students to the basics of the judicial system and the role of justice in society.
In 2025, the lessons were adapted to meet new needs by adding elements of mediation. Now, children not only learn about justice but also how to peacefully resolve conflicts and find fair solutions.
We believe that these lessons will help foster a culture of mutual respect, dialogue, and justice among young people.
We invite mediators, judges, notaries, lawyers, and other legal professionals with mediation training to join the implementation of the lessons.
