Welcome to The Multi Faith and Multi Cultural Mediation Services
The International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy runs a Mediation and Education Service specialising in dispute resolution in situations of religious or racial violence and conflict. The service is available to provide mediation in all situations of conflict in which there is either a specifically religious or racial dimension to the dispute or in which both parties to the dispute prefer to refer the matter to the Service. The Service is available for consultation throughout Britain, Ireland, Europe, the Commonwealth and globally. Operated from the centre of France, we are available for consultation and advice 24 hours per day. Many of the world's current civil and international conflicts involve religious disagreements and ethnic prejudices, yet until now there has been no international agency offering specific guidance and expertise on inter-religious and inter-cultural mediation. In the UK and Ireland there are many communities experiencing religious or ethnic conflict and violence. We intend to provide a service, which can make a genuine contribution to resolving these conflicts, in short term, local disputes, and long term wider conflict situations

Our Ethos of Peace |
Training |
The guiding ethos underlying the Service is that conflict can be managed peacefully to the interest of both parties to a win/win outcome, no matter how deep or entrenched the conflict may appear at first reading. Together we can help create a peaceful world for our children to inherit, by drawing together the ancient teachings of the religious faiths with modern approaches to conflict resolution and mediation.
