Further, through documents, discussions, reports and explanations, each of the parties, separately or together, provides the mediator with information on the conflict.
At a date set by the parties, the mediation meeting takes place in which each of the parties supports its point of view and collaborates with the other party under the guidance and help of the mediator to find the optimal solution and finally resolve the conflict. The mediation session can take place over several hours or days depending on the complexity of the conflict or the availability of the parties.

All written or oral communications that take place between the parties before, during or after mediation are confidential, including: discussions with the disputing parties (including those with their representatives), information provided by them in any form, what the parties have done or said during the mediation session, the content of the mediation agreement, the dispute file, all are and remain confidential.

Each party, which wants a constructive settlement of the conflict, prepares for mediation by trying to answer (for itself) the following questions:

What specific outcome do you want to achieve through mediation?
What do you need to do to get that outcome?
What do you need to change in that outcome to make it possible, achievable?
What do you think the other party wants to achieve through mediation?
What impact does the other party’s goal have on you?
What impact does your goal have on the other party?
What were the intentions of the other party to the conflict?
How did each party, including you, contribute to the conflict situation?
What information do you lack to fully analyze the situation you and the other party are in?
On what concrete information do you base all the answers to the above questions?
How did this information personally affect the other party?
How do you feel when you think about the conflict situation in question?
What do you think the other side feels when they think about the conflict?
Are there any elements that are brought into question that will generate uncertainty or fear for you or for the other party?
How can you express what you want to achieve in a form that makes sense to the other side as well?

Answering these questions will help you gain a complex personal perspective on the conflict situation you are in, as well as on the purpose for which you agree to participate in mediation.
