The main goal of these programs is to teach students how to resolve disagreements through communication and mutual respect. Mediation helps both teachers and learners develop dialogue and active listening skills, while fostering empathy, inclusion, and acceptance of diversity.
As a result, school mediation has been shown to significantly reduce incidents of school violence and improve the overall atmosphere in schools. It contributes to the development of a collaborative school culture, where conflict is seen as an opportunity for learning and growth.
