Summary/Abstract: Conflict is natural and inevitable wherever people spend time with each other. School is a very important place as there we face whole spectrum of emotions and behaviours. Peer conflicts result from difference of interests, opinions or presented values. Conflicts are inevitable, however the way of resolving them depends on the approach. Peer (school) mediation allows to resolve student’s disputes through dialogue. Mediator is a an impartial third party who assists in reaching an agreement, negotiating it in terms of cooperation and in finding the best solutions (according to the school custom – ritually).
