A group of peer mediators at Hjortespring Skole has received tools for conflict resolution so that they can help their younger school friends solving conflicts. The peer mediators take care of a lot of the conflicts that arise in the every day life between pupils from 0th to 5th grade. The result is development of valuable social competences for both the peer mediators and for those who get the help.

Peer mediation is a fixed part of the conflict resolution tools at Ranum Skole. Since peer mediation was implemented, the number of long conflicts between the pupils has decreased as many conflicts are solved via mediation before they escalate. In practice, this means greater well-being and hereby better possibilities of optimum learning for the school’s pupils.

With the hammer in one’s hand
