Peer Mediation

Peer mediation is an integral part of the Building Peaceful Schools Programme. Learners at Catholic schools are trained in Communication, Peacebuilding and Conflict Management. The objective is that they are able to manage low level conflict and assist their peers to resolve problems before major conflict takes place. A teacher forms their support and they are assisted to know when to ask for help with a problem. The young people in this video share their experience as peer mediators.
