Abstract

Studies on conflict resolution have given preference to descriptions of coping styles and interventions in school populations, neglecting the need and relevance of training university students on this topic. This research started from the culture of peace perspective and its objective was designing a social mediation program with students from a psychology faculty based on a participatory diagnosis and a global model intervention. The research design was qualitative, cross-sectional and followed a critical approach. The field work included semi-structured interviews to student representatives, academic tutors and authorities. The thematic analysis identified needs and potentials of practices in the faculty. The Social Mediation and Conflict Resolution Laboratory will prepare students to generate a culture of peace in the community.
