Recently, an appeal has been made to educational authorities to introduce mediation and conflict resolution programs in schools. This initiative arises with the aim of promoting a peaceful coexistence environment and fostering the civilized resolution of disagreements among students.
This proposal is particularly relevant in the context of the School Day of Non-Violence, a date aimed at raising awareness in the educational community about the importance of eradicating violence in all its forms within classrooms. The implementation of mediation and conflict resolution programs will significantly contribute to creating a safe and respectful school environment for all students.
In this regard, various organizations specialized in education have emphasized the need to train teachers and administrative staff in mediation techniques to provide them with the necessary tools to effectively address conflict situations among students. In this way, the aim is to promote a culture of dialogue and tolerance, fostering the peaceful resolution of differences and avoiding resorting to violence.
In the words of a spokesperson for one of these organizations: "It is essential that schools become spaces where mutual respect and dialogued conflict resolution prevail. Mediation not only helps prevent violence but also promotes communication and empathy skills among young people."
