The Mediator’s Studio – Episode 0, Season 5

Welcome to Season 5 of The Mediator's Studio podcast.This special season marks the 20th anniversary of the Oslo Forum in 2023 – and its importance as the place where peacemakers meet.Over seven episodes – most of them recorded at this year’s Oslo Forum retreat – we delve into deep conversations with prominent mediators on what it takes to make peace.Because we sat down in June 2023, the interviews were done before the conflict in Gaza began. While some episodes reflect events predating the war, we are sure the insights are as relevant as ever about seeking peace in the region.
