The Service for Formation and Innovation (SFPIE) of the Universitat de València offers the university community and the general public an online course via the international platform MiríadaX. Those who do the course will have the opportunity to have access for free to the content of the course and to do its assessment exam.

The course will start on 4^th February 2019 and will last for 4 weeks. Any person who wants to gain specialized training in mediation can register to the course. The alternative process of problem resolutions in which both parties agree with the assistance of a professional called “mediator” is increasing its importance due to its resolution speed compared with the traditional legal conflict resolution system. The role of the mediator is key because both parties will end up agreeing thanks to his knowledge, techniques and abilities. The concept of mediation, the proceeding the civil responsibility of the mediator and the required techniques and abilities will be studied.

The organization of the course has been coordinated by the  professors of the Department of Civil Law of the Faculty of Law Javier Plaza Penadés, Luz Martínez Velencoso y Raquel Guillén Catalán, as part of the open call of MOOC courses of the SFPIE. The videos of the courses were recorded by technical staff of the Innovation Unit of SFPIE inside their facilities.

You can find the course in the platform MiríadaX, the largest MOOC platform in Hispano-American countries. It has been possible thanks to an agreement between the Universitat de València and platform so that the MOOCs produced by our university are accessible to more people. Those students who finish the course successfully will obtain a certificate
