Today the Magical Mediators were invited to attend the Young Talks Conference at Dundee University organised by the Scottish Mediation Network.

We listened to presentations from Tam Baillie (The Children and Young People’s Commissioner in Scotland), Nick Patel (a Mediation Magician) and from people who have a full time career in Mediation. We also attended two different workshops.

We were one of two schools who were asked to share our peer mediation journey. Keira, Anna, Sean and Caitlin presented at the school’s showcase to over 100 participants.

We took part in a Skype video chat with a school in America, it was interesting to see how peer mediation operates in another country. We also watched a video about peer mediation in Scotland and it was lovely to see our P7 peer mediators from last year.

The biggest surprise of all was when we received the award for our Outstanding Contribution to Peer Mediation in Scotland by a School and the prize of a free mediation training session from Jeremy Scuse (the managing director at Catalyst Mediation Ltd).

We our so proud of our Magical Mediators, both from last session and this session and all their achievements – congratulations!
