Conflict resolution education is a learning process that helps individuals understand conflict dynamics and empowers them to use communication and creative thinking to manage and resolve conflicts fairly and peacefully. Students are taught to use assertive communication, rather than passive or aggressive communication. Both parties assume responsibility for the conflict, and work toward the goal of reaching mutually acceptable compromises. Mediation is a process for resolving disputes and conflicts in which a neutral third party acts as a moderator for the process. In mediation, the goal is to work out differences constructively.
