restoring [restoration of] good will
"Conciliatory is derived from the Latin conciliatus, "to assemble, unite, win over." A conciliation is the act of placating or restoring good will and is similar to compromise or concession, because it refers to the ending of a disagreement. "

mediation to establish mutual goodwill
I would translate "Schlichtung" as "conciliation" and "Vermittlung" as "mediation", so conciliation might be defined as mediation to establish mutual goodwill between conflict partners. It is the act of a mediator, not the conflict parties themselves, who would be participants in the mediation or conciliation process.
Peer comment(s):

: Yes, I think the key word is mediation - covers both Vermittlung and Schlichtung

"The dictionary defines conciliation as "the act of procuring good will or inducing a friendly feeling".
