CSSP – Berlin Center for Integrative Mediation

CSSP – Berlin Center for Integrative Mediation is a registered NGO in Germany. The organisation is headquartered in Berlin, with several offices abroad. The organization was founded in 2005 through a parliamentary resolution in the German Bundestag as a "Lessons Learned" project, which drew lessons from Prof. Dr. Christian Schwarz-Schilling's work as the International Mediator in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1995 – 2004). Integrative Mediation originated as a methodology from Prof. Dr. Schwarz-Schilling and his advisory team. The approach has evolved over the years and is further developed by members of the CSSP Team. Until 2010, CSSP worked primarily in the post-war Balkans. Since 2010 CSSP's outreach expanded to transitional societies in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA), South Asia, Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus.
