Mediation training
Your Community Mediation will offer a basic mediation training course via Zoom.
Chuck Pattishall, executive director of YCM, said the course teaches people to be more effective communicators with anyone, from family members to customers and coworkers. It also can be a first step toward meeting state requirements to become a mediator.
The much-anticipated, decades-old Kingston Christmas tradition of the annual University Singers carol service took place last Sunday at the University Chapel, at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona campus.
The festival of nine lessons and carols was viewed live by hundreds on YouTube, and it has subsequently been already enjoyed online by a global audience of over 20,000 music lovers, faithfuls, and past and present members and friends of the university’s worldwide community. This event has been jam-packed as far back as memory recalls, from the 70s, and securing a seat required early arrival. This year was radically different. COVID-19 dictated the protocols of the service and how the music was presented. But despite the pandemic, the event found its largest audience ever, and it dazzled with great fanfare, serving up a magical blend of bible readings and Christmas carols, telling the story of the birth of Christ.
