LEARN ·2015 Grants ChallengeThe Peer Mediation Network
Students will lead the conflict resolution revolution and be agents of peaceful change in LA and via the internet. Young people who have received Peer Mediation Training will produce and ‘star in’ video podcasts, YouTube videos and interactive programs. They will share the basic tenets of alternatives to violence and social emotional learning using technology that is fast becoming a universal language and whose integration into all facets of communication will be de rigueur for citizens of 2050.

Listening Communication and Conflict Resolution Skills for Los Angeles
This idea will provide those who wish to learn listening, communication and conflict resolution skills the opportunity to do so at multiple locations throughout Los Angeles. Social connections are impacted by how we interact with one another. When conflict occurs, there are opportunities to listen and communicate in a way that increases the possibility of resolving disputes, and building social connections. Too few opportunities are available to members of the public to learn and apply listening, communication and conflict resolution skills. This will help move Los Angeles toward more effectively addressing the inevitable conflict that we encounter in the most constructive ways possible.
