International Mediation Awareness Week (IMAW) is a week to celebrate everything mediation related. We bring together practitioners from all over the world to share experiences, best practice, and opportunities to collaborate and build your professional network.

Our events have traditionally been held online and for 2023, we are encouraging our hosts to facilitate in-person events too.

IMAW is ideal for junior practitioners starting out, and seasoned professionals looking to enhance their visibility, give back to the community, and promote mediation to the wider community.

IMAW is FREE - But we need your support!

Sessions are FREE but we do ask for donations to help keep the week open to everyone. If you can donate, please do so and this will help prevent us from charging for sessions. 

IMAW is ideal for non-mediators. Throughout the week, you can experience simulated mediations (mock mediations), meet mediators, learn about conflict management, and the basics of mediation skills.

Lawyers, HR professionals and others who deal with conflict and who have clients are encouraged to attend the sessions throughout the week and learn and share knowledge with colleagues.
