Recent Events
4 Day Peer Mediation Course
The Education for Reconciliation project recently ran a CPD training course in implementing a Peer Mediation scheme in schools, attended by 48 teachers from both jurisdictions. Peer Mediators do not impose a solution, but help the disputants to negotiate a resolution where both are satisfied with the outcome (a win/win solution).In a school setting, the programme has significant potential to:
- Reduce the level of conflict
- Prevent small disputes from escalating
- Contribute to a better teaching and learning environment in the classroom
- Support more effective management of behaviour.
This course was facilitated by Maria Garvey, Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST) and Séamus Farrell, UU, both experienced facilitators in this area.
