“…The design of the training programme for mediators involved the development and improvement of the regulatory framework, a systematic analysis of the existing programmes of additional professional education, and the identification of the regional need for the specialisation of intermediaries. The novelty of the model developed by the School of Education Psychology and Sociology of SibFU was that it was designed taking into account federal standards of higher education and the professional standard of a specialist in the field of mediation (mediator) (Smolyaninova, 2019) and is focused on the preparation of intercultural mediators (Smolyaninova, 2018). Here, systematic reflection (group, individual, etc.)…”

The article describes various models of training mediators for the education system in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan. A comparative analysis of the mediation services development in Siberia and Kazakhstan for the possibilities and prospects of cooperation and interaction is carried out. The article presents specific features of the model for training intercultural mediators for resolving interethnic conflicts in the Krasnoyarsk Krai. This model meets the needs of multinational Siberian society and is aimed at solving regional problems in the education system. A peculiar characteristic of the model for the Krasnoyarsk Krai is its multi-level nature, openness and continuity of preparation, with the inclusion of formal and non-formal education elements. Interdisciplinary nature of interaction of the network partners involved in the training and retraining of mediators for the education system gives an opportunity to use the potential and resources of professional mediators and trainers of Siberia (Kemerovo, Irkutsk), Federal Institute of Mediation, Moscow, and National Academy of Education named after Y. Altynsarin (Kazakhstan). The model for the intercultural mediators training developed at the School of Education, Psychology and Sociology has been tested for two years as a part of its implementation in the Master programme of the School of Education, Psychology and Sociology within the frames of the educational programme “Mediation in Education”, advanced training courses, three International Youth Summer Schools “Multicultural Mediation in Education”, expert seminars, intensive schools “Mediation is the Profession of the 21st Century”, and a competition for high school students of the Krasnoyarsk Krai “Mediation Is The Profession Of The Future”

“…In addition, during interviews and discussions with the heads of school mediation services it was noted that many of the reconciliation services have zero statistics on mediation and reconciliation practices: schools prefer to resolve conflicts by traditional authoritarian methods. This actualizes the need to provide school mediation services with specialists and organize refresher courses for teachers regularly (Smolyaninova, 2018).…”

Development of mediation practices for resolving interethnic conflicts in a multicultural educational environment is actual due to the globalization and expansion of migration flows. The paper is aimed at the analysis of challenges of interethnic relations in a multicultural environment of the Krasnoyarsk Region and the empirical research of mediation practices development in the field of education to resolve conflicts between the actors of the education process, including intercultural conflicts. Based on the content analysis of the Krasnoyarsk schools reporting documents on mediation procedures, the problematic aspects of the introduction of mediation in the multicultural educational environment of the region were characterized. The deficiencies of teacher education in terms of development of migration processes in Russia were indentified, among which the most acute is shortage of mediation techniques use for prevention and resolution of intercultural conflicts at all levels of education due to the lack of mediation specialists and practitioners. The survey on the didactic components of the mediation competence was carried out. The article presents the analysis on the key professional competencies, obtained from the expert survey of practicing mediators of Krasnoyarsk, in a comparative retrospective with similar international studies. The practical use of the study is in fostering the mediation practices implementation in the educational environment to resolve conflicts between the culturally diverse actors of educational process.

“…"Sometimes a dispute between students of different nationalities is transformed into interethnic conflict between the participants and their environment, the conflict supported by the media and politicians". In such situation the Tolerance Center is of real help in the interethnic interaction (Smolyaninova, 2018). − lack of multicultural learning experience in schools and universities (Zannoni, Cuconato et al, 2017).…”

The article aims at clarifying whether international educational projects offer a real assistance in developing the students' personal, spiritual and moral qualities such as interethnic tolerance as well as at analyzing the character, dynamics, and direction of interethnic communication. From the standpoint of pedagogy, international projects are viewed as an opportunity to show an individual's ethnicity in professional and interpersonal spheres and a step forward to interethnic interaction based on international cooperation. The results of the empirical research prove efficiency and productivity of international projects as a powerful mechanism of personal growth, development, and self-perfection. They also make it possible to trace the perspective ways of development of interethnic cooperation between Russia and its European partners in the educational sphere. To sum up, international projects enhance teaching and learning opportunities, enlarge the sphere of professional and interpersonal communication, and provide a real support in the production of a new type of specialist-a person with a planetary way of thinking, able to work and study in a multicultural educational environment, flexible and ready for dynamic changes in a globalizing world.
