Bridging Differences: Peer Mediation in Action

Bridging Differences: Peer Mediation in Action

In the bustling halls of Riverview High, tension brews between two classmates, Jordan and Mia, over a group project disagreement.

The school’s peer mediation program, led by Alex, a senior trained in conflict resolution, steps in to help.

Alex explains the rules of mediation: respect, listening without interruption, and finding a win-win solution.

Jordan and Mia each share their perspectives, realizing how misunderstandings fueled their conflict.

Using active listening, Alex rephrases their concerns, ensuring both feel heard and valued.

The trio brainstorms solutions, agreeing to divide tasks based on each other's strengths.

By the end of the session, both shake hands, ready to work together with mutual respect.

The next week, their project presentation is a success, earning applause from classmates and teachers.

Inspired, Jordan and Mia join the peer mediation program to help others resolve conflicts.

At Riverview High, peer mediation becomes a cornerstone of building empathy, respect, and understanding.
