Overview

CoRe Conflict Resolution Society ("CoRe") was incorporated as a not-for-profit society in July 2002 and registered as a charity in December 2003. Its current mandate is to provide education on conflict resolution topics and to enhance knowledge of collaborative decision-making processes. To achieve this aim, CoRe runs an annual Speaker Series and offers negotiation and mediation training. CoRe was started by a group of UBC Law students who sought to provide mediation services to the community. From 2001 to 2013, CoRe provided free and low cost mediation services to individuals, campus organizations at UBC, and non-profit organizations through the CoRe Clinic. Some CoRe Clinic mentors continue to offer occasional co-mediations through an informal mentorship process.
