The essence of Christmas was formed from the fusion of ancient pagan festivals and Christian traditions. It originated in the Roman celebration of Saturnalia and the cult of Sol Invictus, both related to the winter solstice, which the Christian Church adopted and transformed into the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, fixing the date on December 25th around the 4th century.
Christmas is a time of year filled with emotions, expectations, and family gatherings. Although it's often associated with joy and reunions, it can also be a period where tensions and conflicts surface.
At the Mediation School, we believe that learning to mediate is not just about accumulating theory. It's about experiencing a supportive, close, and dynamic training process. That's why those who train with us are never alone on their journey to becoming mediation professionals.
School mediation should be a fundamental tool for managing conflicts that arise in the educational environment.

In recent years, mediation has ceased to be a peripheral institution of the Spanish legal system and has become a central instrument in conflict management.
According to UNESCO (2020), a culture of peace is based on the principles of the Charter of the United Nations, respect for human rights, democracy, tolerance, and education for peace. It also involves promoting sustainable development, gender equality, and civic participation as part of a comprehensive approach to preventing violence and conflict.
Enhanced informed consent in family mediation is not just a document to sign and forget. It is an ethical and legal guarantee that protects participants, brings transparency to the process, and empowers them in their decision-making.
Gender-sensitive pre-mediation checklist: Before initiating any mediation process, it is essential to assess minimum conditions of safety, fairness, and voluntariness. This checklist helps identify risks, inequalities, and situations of control in order to make ethical and procedural decisions that protect all parties.
Intersectionality in mediation is not an abstract theory, but a practical tool that allows mediators to identify the different layers of vulnerability affecting those involved in a conflict. Factors such as language, immigration status, economic insecurity, sexual orientation, and gender identity are not secondary: they directly influence the ability to negotiate on equal terms.
