Listening, problem-solving, and negotiation skills are all important for resolving particular disputes. By participating in Peer Mediation, students learn a cooperative alternative to violence, equipping them with the tools they need to respond to conflict in a positive way. The students involved in peer mediation experience a respectful process in which they are listened to , asked what they need and how they would like to solve the problem, and agree on solutions.
