The aim
- Find a solution, which both sides are happy with, and which will avoid further arguments;
- Improve the overall school atmosphere;
- Stop bullying in our school.
Peer mediation
Peer mediation is youth problem solving with the help of other youth.
It is a process by which, two sides having an argument, meet in the school’s Peer Mediation office, which provides a private, safe and confidential setting, and they work out their problem, with the assistance of two trained mediators.
Benefits

Peer Mediation project
- The Peer Mediation project in our school has been running since September 2012;
- Peer Mediators of European School Luxembourg II have elected 3 representatives which, with the help of the 3 coaches, run the project throughout the school year;
- Each mediator has followed a 3 weekend training program, organised by the SNJ & Peer Mediation Luxembourg. All qualified mediators have a mediator’s diploma.
The Peer Mediation office is open every day from 10:20-10:40 by a pair of mediators on guard, ready to help.
The mediators are supported by 3 trained coaches: Mrs. Le Goaller, Mrs Pomar and Mr Nestoras
