Grassroots mediation

Grassroots mediation is a process where community members or local stakeholders help resolve conflicts or issues within their community. It emphasizes informal, voluntary dialogue facilitated by trained mediators who are trusted by the community. The goal is to find mutually agreeable solutions that address local concerns, promoting understanding and cooperation without involving legal authorities. This approach empowers communities to handle disputes internally, fostering sustainable relationships and strengthening social bonds. By focusing on local values and perspectives, grassroots mediation helps create more effective and culturally sensitive resolutions.
