The Conflict Resolution Group Foundation (CoRe Group) is the pioneer for Values-based

Mediation, a process where people develop a keen awareness of the fundamental sets of values
that are most important to each of us. To many, these values include love, respect and
commitment. A deep understanding of these values leads us to clarity and focus in our lives.

When applied in the context of the community, it is only when one is in harmony with their most
basic values that they begin to recognize the values found in others. It is at this deep, personal
level where people discover and connect through innate human values that are often overlooked
amidst a world of diversity and conflict.

All programs developed and delivered by the CoRe Group revolve around this basic principle of
humanity. We invite you to take a look at our programs to see which suits you, your family, your
organization and community.

process.
