Commenting on the event, Jo\u00e3o Carlos Cochlar, who represented Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Getulio Vargas of Law in Rio de Janeiro, said:<\/p>\n

The ICC Mediation Competition is a life-changing experience that enhances spontaneity and interpersonal skills in a friendly and multi-cultural scenario. This experience is meaningful not only for mediation or negotiation, but for life, and it was a privilege to be part of [the event].\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Day one of the event will wrap up with an\u00a0Welcome Cocktail\u00a0<\/a>providing a networking experience for the global and diverse group of participants to get to know each other.<\/p>\n

Past team member for Israel\u2019s Bar Ilan University Rotem Newfield said:<\/p>\n

\u201c[Students] get the opportunity to mediate in the presence of a real-life mediator and be judged by an accomplished panel of [professionals]. Irrespective of the result, participation in a Competition like this is a win-win deal already.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On Monday, ADR professionals and academics of the Competition have the opportunity to focus on their own development with the 7th edition of the\u00a0International Mediation Roundtable<\/a>.

\u201cThe [event] was an inspirational opportunity to share experiences and knowledge with the best representatives of the mediation community around the world. It is the best training for a passionate mediator.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Once the announcement of the Quarter-Finalists has been made, student teams will either be hard at work studying up on their strategies for the next round of eliminations or enjoying the wonders of the French capital, while the professionals conclude their full day of activities with a networking cocktail.\u00a0ICC Mediation Week<\/a>\u00a0professionals can discuss the skills and techniques learned in their half-day seminar.<\/p>\n
