About us
Who we are
Peer Mediation is all about cultivating conflict competence in the society
The club was registered under the society’s act in the office of the attorney General on 24th June 2020, certificate registration number R53043. Following the scraping of corporal punishment in our schools there was created a huge gap where there was need to find alternative means and ways on how to deal with issues to do with indiscipline in a lawful manner.
Majority of our learning institution has been facing a serious challenge on how to maintain discipline in a manner that is compliant to the existing laws. Peer mediation came in to fill this gap by providing training to the youths on how to become conflict competence. Many schools both private and public are embracing this method of dispute resolution and the impact is that it is empowering our youths to become peace ambassadors with their circle.
