"Mediation: A New Enlightenment or Damp Squib?"

John Sturrock is guest speaker at Scottish Mediation’s annual general meeting on Wednesday, 24 October in Edinburgh. He will pose some questions: 

• 21st century dispute resolution – how far have we come?
• Looking back – what do the past 20 years of mediation in Scotland tell us?

• Looking forward – how can we really bring mediation into the heart of things? 
• The future – cooperation or competition?
