Community mediation offers a way to resolve conflicts before they get to the courts. The process can also strengthen the social fabric by encouraging dialogue among citizens.

Community Mediation: Two Real-Life Experiences, filmed in Quebec municipalities of Sherbrooke and Longueuil, is an ideal reference for groups, associations and individuals involved in the mediation process. The camera captures everything from volunteer training and public outreach to complete mediation sessions, along with an analysis of the methods and results. Viewers are offered possible approaches rather than a rigid model. The DVD has many applications, including training for volunteer mediators, and promoting mediation in the community.

Community Mediation: Two Real-Life Experiences is directed by Stéphane Drolet as part of the National Film Board's Project citoyen, a program that puts practical resources into the hands of Canadians.
