SOAS Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Centre (SADRC) in collaboration with the Capacity Building Committee of the African Arbitration Association (AfAA) invite you to participate in a Joint Arbitration practitioner Training Event

Purpose of Event

The primary purpose of our SADRC/AfAA event is to continue to support the upskilling of African practitioners on the continent but in a less formalistic and more inclusive space for learning (and unlearning) and sharing of practical experience which we can adopt to improve our practice. This form of learning, from our experience on the continent, is more receptive to our target audience and less invasive of their professional expertise or ability.

This event is FREE OF CHARGE to attend but registration is required.
