The projects of mediation set up mechanisms of communication and restoration of the social link. In every case, the mediator plays a role of helping hand in settling conflicts.

Characteristics of the projects of mediation:

• The restoration of the social link. By the implementation of the processes of pacificatory intervention, the services of mediation try to manage the conflicts, to prevent the break of social links.
• Agents of communication and relay between the protagonists. The mediator intervenes as a third party, intermediate and outside the conflict, and tries to create all the conditions for the resolution of the conflict. This intervention aims at taking some distance with regard to the fact and facilitating communication.
• A space of trust, change and emancipation. The mediation guarantees a space of empowerment and trust, convenient to the emergence of change.
