In the peer mediation training, participants engaged in a dialogue process designed to foster understanding and resolve conflicts. The process emphasized active listening, empathy, and collaboration, where each participant had the opportunity to express their perspective while being heard without interruption.
Mediators guided the conversation by asking open-ended questions and encouraging reflection, helping individuals identify common ground and work toward mutually agreeable solutions.
The discussions during the dialogue highlighted the importance of non-judgmental communication and the role of mediators in maintaining a neutral, supportive environment. Participants learned how to manage emotional responses, reframe negative statements, and facilitate productive conversations.
By the end of the training, the group recognized the power of dialogue as a tool not only for resolving conflicts but also for strengthening relationships and building trust. These insights were shared and discussed, offering valuable takeaways for applying the mediation techniques in real-life situations.
By partnering with organizations like Kids Managing Conflict SCMA Education Foundation, Days of Dialogue is committed to fostering a culture of dialogue and understanding. We believe that investing in the next generation of leaders is essential for creating a more just and equitable society.
