Please join us as we hear from Kirsi Joenpolvi, a member of the Standby Team of the United Nations Mediation Support Unit (MSU).

Ms. Joenpolvi will share her experiences as an international mediator, including how UN mediators handle power imbalances, maintain neutrality, build trust with participants, and overcome cultural-based issues.
