The second module is aimed at providing skills related to alternative dispute resolution (ADR) tools in situations where it is necessary to protect individuals' rights, especially fundamental rights such as the right to freedom, life, and health (as well as other constitutionally protected rights). The module intends to provide knowledge of fundamental rights and protection systems, with particular emphasis on certain ADR mechanisms, especially family mediation and mediation techniques.
