Title of the activity: “Mediator system”
Level: Secondary, 10 to 16
To enable students to resolve conflicts themselves, without the intervention of teachers, we established a mediator system. Interested students from grade 7 and older get trained in conflict management. They have their own room, where during the breaks they help other pupils to end fighting and come to a solution that helps both rivals.

During their training they developed their own emblem:
It stands for: respect, solidarity, equality and trust.
Every term new students get trained and afterwards presented to their schoolmates:

The mediators are well accepted by their schoolmates and already helped to end lots of conflicts before they resulted in actual bullying.
