Since 2002, the IMK has been working with the training and sci­en­tific focus on me­diative com­mu­ni­cation, which was de­ve­loped on the basis of an ex­tensive study on the ef­fec­ti­veness of me­diation training, linked with studies on tea­ching-learning op­ti­mi­sation and en­riched and spe­cia­lised with subject-spe­cific stan­dards, par­ti­cu­larly for the ap­pli­cation areas of me­diation, coa­ching and training. The training in me­diative com­mu­ni­cation te­aches ele­ments of a pro­fes­sional at­titude and me­tho­do­lo­gical 'tools' for dealing with di­versity and com­plexity in an ap­pli­cation-ori­en­tated manner for work as a me­diator, coach and trainer. The di­versity com­pe­tence ac­quired in this way en­ables a re­source-ori­en­tated ap­proach to dif­ferent ap­proaches – in in­ter­per­sonal re­la­ti­onships and in private and work-re­lated con­texts. We would like to enjoy and further de­velop the re­sults of this work tog­ether with you: in training, practice, re­search and va­rious pro­jects for the im­ple­men­tation of di­versity com­pe­tence.
