This article contrasts the use of online mediation in Ireland from February 2019, prior to the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, and from then until March 2021. It considers the context for online mediation in Ireland, the challenges to the mediation process, the experience of online mediation from the perspectives of mediators and participants in mediation. Sharing these experiences informs future decisions as to how technology might best be integrated into mediation practice in the longer term. The experience of 13 mediators indicates that there are challenges due to familiarity with technology for mediators and participants, and challenges to power balancing and confidentiality. In Ireland, although platforms such as Zoom played a major role, use of the telephone in the mediation process also increased. An online mediation competence framework for mediators is proposed.

Online Mediation

Необходимость внедрения онлайн-медиации на Крайнем Севере обусловлена особенностями жизнедеятельности северных территорий, которые накладывают отпечаток на психологическое развитие детей и, как следствие, на эффективность образовательного процесса. Дефицитарность развития альтернативной процедуры разрешения конфликтов в отдаленных районах края приводит к актуализации онлайн-медиации с точки зрения профилактики, предотвращения и разрешения конфликтных ситуаций и освоения специалистами информационно-коммуникативных технологий, подготовки конкурентоспособных специалистов, а также установления благоприятного эмоционально-личностного фона. Проблематика исследования связана со сравнительно недавним внедрением медиативных процедур на территории Крайнего Севера и в то же время с возможностями, которые предоставляет медиация для региона, особенности которого создают наиболее тяжелые психологические условия. Эмоционально-личностное развитие представителей малых народов известно не только позитивными, но и неблагоприятными социально-психологическими последствиями перемен.В научной статье посредством контент-анализа и сравнительного анализа рассматриваются психологические особенности обучающихся на территориях Крайнего Севера, развитие и формы медиативного процесса на территориях Красноярского края и Крайнего Севера, а также возможности онлайн-медиации для отдаленных территорий региона и установление положительного психологического климата. The need to introduce online mediation in the Far North is due to the peculiarities of the life of the northern territories, which affect the psychological development of children and, as a result, the effectiveness of the educational process. The lack of development of alternative conflict resolution procedures in remote areas of the region leads to the actualization of online mediation in terms of prevention, prevention and resolution of conflict situations and the development of information and communication technologies by specialists, the training of competitive specialists, as well as the establishment of a favorable emotional and personal background. The problems of the study are related to the relatively recent introduction of mediation procedures in the Far North and at the same time to the opportunities that mediation provides for the region, the features of which create the most difficult psychological conditions. The emotional and personal development of the representatives of small nations is known not only for the positive, but also for the unfavorable socio-psychological consequences of changes. The article examines the psychological characteristics of students in the Far North, the development and forms of the mediation process in the territories of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Far North, as well as the possibilities of online mediation for remote areas of the region and the establishment of a positive psychological climate.
