Establishing a mediator system (German activity 5)


Author: Franz Schifferl
School, country: Mittelschule Woerth, Germany
Subject: Aggression - Αcceptance - Resolving conflicts
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.

Mediators at work

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:

Presentation of the new mediators

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

Together we watched the German film "Lippels Traum", based on the novel by the German author Paul Maar, famous for his books for children. In the film a boy solves his problems with bullying and a nasty housekeeper with the help of friends and the use of fantasy. After the movie we had discussions in class about supporting each other in difficult situations.
