SUMMARY:The Architecture of Trust Building in Mediation - A Joint Conference Between FMC and AFMS

This keynote invites participants to look deeper\, exploring how trust actually forms\, breaks\, and repairs in mediation. Dr. Michael Saini draws on lived experience and new research to reveal the hidden structure of trust and how mediators can intentionally design it into every interaction. You will leave seeing trust not as an instinct\, but as a framework to be studied\, practiced\, and strengthened. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere \n\nUniversity of Calgary ‘Blue Room’\, 124 University Gate NW\, Calgary\, AB – and online via Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker \n\n\nDr. Michael Saini \n\nDr. Michael Saini is a Professor at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto\, where he holds the endowed Chair in Law and Social Work and is cross-appointed to the Faculty of Law.
