WHAT IS IT?

Inclusive Schools through Mediation is a 24-months Cooperation Partnership in the field of School Education that involves six organisations from five countries (Finland, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Türkiye). The main aim of this project is to develop the competences of secondary school teachers in order to educate their students to be able to mediate for a peaceful resolution of conflicts and an inclusive school environment.
