SCHILLING, Flávia Inês. Conflicts mediation, restorative justice: paths to a fairer school?. ETD [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.2, pp.325-342. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v20i2.8650506.

We present some findings from the research Justice, human rights and violence: the fair school and the initiatives of restorative justice, in the context of the project Justice and Education, a public policy set forth by São Paulo’s Department of Education and that suggests, among other measures, the preparation of mediators/teachers and restorative justice in schools. We conduct a case study of said public policy, a literature review and apply questionnaires and interviews to the teachers/mediators. The questions regarding what would be ‘fair’ were: a school with judicial disputes arising from its relations would be fair? The formalization of the practices of fairness effectively increases the degree of fairness? A fair teacher is whom received the title of mediator/teacher? The results show the dilemmas of an uncertain and hesitant public policy and the difficult positions these teachers occupy in schools.

Keywords : Justice; Human Rights; Fair School; Violence; Mediators.
