Project Goal
Peer Mediation Training
Peer mediation training aims to enhance the capacity of teachers and students to deal with conflict without the use of violence by selecting ten students and two teachers who have a leadership personality capable of making decisions and able to positively influence the bullies. They are trained through activities and methods on how to take responsibility in resolving conflicts through discussion and role-playing, where the risk of escalation of conflict always exists, but we can learn to resolve the conflict without resorting to the use of violence. A mediator club will be established in every school to follow up on students' progression and reduce violence in the school.
