In order to instill a positive and constructive attitude towards conflict resolution, the Department of Justice (“DoJ”) has organised events with themes related to peer mediation, such as essay competitions and school mediation seminars. Building on the success of previous events, the DoJ, along with the Education Bureau, Asia Conflict Resolution Institute Limited, and Rotary International District 3450, will collaborate again to co-organise the Mediation Essay Competition 2024 (the "Competition").
The Competition is open to all secondary school students. It is hoped that through the Competition, students will appreciate the importance and the usefulness of mediation skills as life skills in resolving conflicts amicably. Disputes are bound to occur in our everyday lives, but it is desirable that mediation can play a role in facilitating collaboration among schools, families, and the community.
Details of the Competition can be found in the Flyer, Rules and Enrolment Form of the Mediation Essay Competition 2024 below:
