EP296 From the 3rd International Mediation Congress – With Judge Marzena Korzonek
In this episode of the LMIPodcast, host Mac Pierre-Louis interviews Marzena Korzonek, a judge from Poland and a member of the European Association of Judges for Mediation (GEMME Poland). Judge Korzonek discusses her work in legal education through the Polish courts, particularly her involvement in a youth legal education program that focuses on peer mediation (Facebook Page).
The program aims to teach children and young people, including those in primary and secondary schools, trade schools, and even correctional facilities, the skills to resolve conflicts through mediation. Judge Korzonek explains that the program covers both theoretical knowledge and practical mediation simulations, with the goal of empowering participants to use mediation as a tool for improving communication, preventing bullying, and resolving everyday conflicts.
Judge Korzonek also shares her experience attending the 3rd International Congress for All Mediations in Angers, France, where she was invited to speak about the legal education center. She expresses her honor at being part of this event, which she sees as a valuable platform for discussing various types of mediation and networking with professionals from around the world.
