In 2025, the association was enriched by the accession of new members from Lithuania, Hungary and the Czech Republic. It provided a platform for the sharing of ongoing projects and actions carried out in the various sections present or between them. Caroline Verbruggen delivered a comprehensive update on the establishment of amicable settlement chambers in Belgium. The Belgian experience offers valuable lessons. Members are passionate about the conciliatory role of judges. This is well established in some countries, but new or not yet envisaged in others.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: align;\">The board of directors enabled the signing of the partnership agreement with the vice-president of the Supreme Court of Ukraine and the representative of the national section of Ukraine. Ukrainian magistrates and their partners interested in promoting mediation now have access to the projects carried out by GEMME and its national sections. GEMME is proud to be working with Ukrainian magistrates and associated figures. Their insights are transforming the landscape of mediation, unveiling new approaches and innovative tools.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: align;\">At GEMME Belgium&#8217;s invitation, members met with numerous mediation stakeholders from Belgium in the magnificent Gothic hall of Brussels City Hall. They discussed the progress of mediation and judicial conciliation in Europe over a cocktail reception.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color:
