Struttura

Structure

The course to become an intercultural mediator lasts 180 hours of which:

• 100 hours of theory;
• 50 hours of practice and supervision;
• 30 hours of individual practical work (internship).

The intercultural mediation course takes place one weekend a month (Saturday and Sunday) for 10 weekends, from September to June. This allows both intensive work during each module (which includes theory, exercise and supervision of cases), and, at a practical organizational level, the participation of colleagues who come from afar. Finally, the lapse of time that elapses between one module and another, allows the application of what you see and do during practical work and to deepen the themes and practice on the days dedicated to supervision and exercise.
Hours: Saturday from 10.00 to 18.30; Sunday from 9.30 to 17.30.
The practical work or internship is carried out in structures, including private ones, identified by the students, after having extended a project together with the course tutor and approved by the scientific manager.
To obtain the qualification, a thesis on practical work, intertwined with theory, is required..
