On June 12, 2026, a motivational session dedicated to developing communication skills, mutual understanding, and environmental responsibility among young people took place as part of the 10th International Forum \u00abMediation and Law\u00bb<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the event, Olha Kulinich, Head of the Intellectual Property Academy Department at UANIPIO, and Mariia Bychkovska, Coordinator of WIPO Academy projects, guided participants in exploring how the superpowers of seeing, listening, and taking action can help resolve conflicts, inspire innovative solutions to environmental challenges, and turn ideas into creative initiatives to prevent ocean pollution and mitigate the harmful effects of environmental degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through interactive activities, practical examples, and open dialogue, participants had the opportunity to gain a fresh perspective on important topics such as environmental protection, emotional intelligence, and a culture of mutual understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special highlight of the session was an interactive story featuring students from Berdychiv City Lyceum No. 15, Zlata and Yan. According to the storyline, a conflict arose between them while working on an environmental project to collect plastic bottle caps. Zlata was preparing her own creative project and had been separately collecting caps in specific colors, while Yan used them to decorate a shared classroom display board. Together with the participants, the speakers analyzed the situation, identified the interests of both sides, and explored ways to reach mutual understanding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00abThis is where mediation begins, not by asking who is at fault, but by listening, understanding the needs of every party, and finding solutions that reflect everyone’s interests.\u00bb<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/em>This example clearly demonstrated that conflicts often conceal a need to be heard and understood, and that the path to mutual understanding begins with dialogue, respect, and a willingness to listen to each other. These are the very skills that help people not only find common ground but also work together to address the challenges facing society and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
