Peer Mediation Training

Peer mediators are students who are trained to mediate disputes between their peers. They are taught skills in communication, active listening, and mediation process management. The underlying assumption of peer mediation programmes is that students will be willing to allow other students to help them resolve conflicts (rumours, fights, harassment, misunderstandings, etc.) when they occur. The role of the peer mediator is to listen to the issues raised and guide the disputants through the process. He/she is not there to determine right or wrong. The disputants are encouraged to work together to find a solution that works for them both.

Students, both mediators and disputants, learn communication, problem solving, and interaction skills. They also learn to take responsibility for their actions and build confidence in their ability to help themselves. As a result, schools with such programmes benefit from the resulting positive student leadership, a decrease in levels of violence, a safer school environment, and sense of student responsibility for creating change.
