Welcome to the Asia Pacific Mediation Forum

The Asia-Pacific Mediation Forum (APMF) is a not-for-profit regional association of individuals, organisations and institutions interested in promoting peace through mediation and other conflict transformation processes wherever conflicts threaten the well-being of individuals, organisations, communities and local, state or national governments in the region. The main objective of the APMF is to facilitate the exchange and development of knowledge, values and skills of mediation and other conflict transformation processes, in any form, including inter-cultural, interpersonal, inter-institutional and international, within and between the diverse countries and cultures in the Asia-Pacific region. To fulfil this objective, conferences/summits are held in the region every two years, with a different country taking responsibility for hosting each conference. In addition, this interactive website is dedicated to enhancing national, regional and international cooperation, collaboration and networking through the provision of a wide range of information, resources and opportunities in the areas of conflict transformation, dispute resolution and peace building. read more  

Expression of Interest to Host the 10th Asia Pacific Mediation Forum (APMF) Conference. Applications due by March 28, 2020.

The Asia Pacific Mediation Forum (APMF) Executive Committee will select the country for its 10th Regional Conference in 2021 from among all the possible candidates, basing its decision on which country, organisation and venue offers the best conditions and the best assurances of success.

Please provide us with as much information as possible to assist us with our selection using this form as a guide (link to download the form).

We anticipate that the Convener will be a member of the APMF and will be coopted onto the Executive Committee. It is also anticipated that the range of relevant individuals, groups and associations who are involved in mediation and other forms of dispute resolution within the country selected will be informed about, and where possible included in the planning for the conference.

9th APMF conference in Korea Papers

9th Asia Pacific Mediation Forum (APMF) Conference November 1 – 2, 2019

The 9th Asia Pacific Mediation Forum Conference held on Jeju island, Korea on November 1-3, 2019 was extremely successful.  The conference site was magnificent and over 150 mediators from 16 countries and 53 presenters from diverse cultures shared lessons and approaches to conflict, restorative justice and mediation. Professor Chang-Hee Won (the Conference Convener), Jan and Brenda Sunoo and the Korean Association of Mediators (KAM) were very welcoming and organized many cultural activities for the participants and their partners. The conference dinner, fashion parade, Korean singer and the tour of Jeju Island all added to the success of the conference and enhanced the relationships between the participants.

With encouragement and support from Jan Sunoo, the remarkable Branksome Hall Asia High School volunteer students not only translated 53 speakers’ abstracts from Korean into English and vice versa, but also did excellent simultaneous translations for 18 workshops over the 2 days – thus making  ALL workshops accessible to both our Korean and English speaking participants. A remarkable feat for high school girls!

Papers and photos from the conference are now available on
APMF –  http://www.asiapacificmediationforum.org/conferences/9th-asia-pacific…flict-resolution/

The conference papers that are written in the Korean language are available at this site: http://mediator.or.kr/web/apmf_board_list?type=papers

On behalf of the APMF Executive Committee I would like to thank everyone involved and we look forward to seeing you again at future APMF conferences.
