About the FDP
The National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru in collaboration with the University of California College of Law, San Francisco (UC Law SF) and CAMP Mediation, Bengaluru, invites applications for a Faculty Development Workshop on ‘Teaching Negotiation and Mediation.’ The two-day workshop will be held on July 11 & 12, 2026.
This invitation-only cohort workshop is designed for law teachers interested in shaping the future of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), mediation, and negotiation education in India.
About the Workshop
This is not a conventional academic programme. It is a hands-on, immersive training experience designed to help faculty integrate experiential learning methods into the way they teach ADR courses. Participants will:
- Experience role plays as a student
- Receive coaching in how to structure, facilitate, and debrief role plays as a teacher
- Learn how to design, facilitate, and debrief simulations
- Learn how to adapt U.S. style experiential teaching methods to the Indian context
- Receive access to curated teaching materials and other resources developed by UC Law SF and CAMP Mediation
- Work directly with leading educators and practitioners from the U.S. and India
The workshop will combine expert-led sessions on negotiation and mediation theory, simulations, collaborative exercises, and reflective discussions. The two-day in-person workshop will be preceded by 2–3 shorter, virtual sessions.
Participants who successfully complete the programme will receive a Certificate of Completion from NLSIU.
