Mediation goes Mainstream

SJCon2024

5 - 6 September 2024

The Social Justice Foundation and Social Justice Association of ADR Practitioners (SJA) will be hosting the 5th Annual Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Conference on 5 - 6 September 2024. This year's first-time collaboration with the University of Cape Town Law Faculty marks a significant milestone in the Foundation's and Association's efforts to promote ADR practices in the pursuit of social justice.

The theme for SJCon24 is Mediation Goes Mainstream. The SJR and SJA believe that mediation, as a form of dispute resolution, is increasingly becoming a mainstream choice for resolving conflicts in various sectors and contexts. This theme underscores the growing recognition of mediation's effectiveness, accessibility, and its potential to foster positive social change.
