This document discusses a school mediation program. It explains that the program aims to resolve conflicts effectively without penalties. It is run by teachers and students who received mediation training. The program devotes hours each year to educating new students on mediation techniques. Students first introduce conflicting parties, have them explain their perspectives, and help them find solutions. The program hopes to train more mediators and further develop a mediation culture in the school.
