[Peer-mediation in schools: experiences in implementation and training of mediators].
Many schools implement peer-mediation-projects with the goal to improve the conflict- and talking-culture of their pupils. They hope to prevent violence. This goal is only to be reached if the project is based on a long-term planning and if it is well implemented. After describing the basics of peer-mediation and the perspective of transformative mediation the author discusses which factors have to be considered in the process of planning and implementation of such a mediation-project. She reports her experiences as trainer in mediation for pupils and teachers. In the last chapter she presents a concept for mediation-training in schools, which was developed from the IMS (Institut für Mediation, Streitschlichtung und Konfliktmanagement e. V.). Finally she describes the curriculum and the teaching method of a two-day-basic-training with additional three-hour-units.
