USB dispute project now Desmond Tutu Peer mediation Project

The Delft Schools Peer Mediation Project held a special function on 30 July to show-case the work and development that has taken place since its launch in March of this year. The function was hosted at the Vergenoegd Primary School in Delft, and turned out to be the perfect setting for the student mediators, the community support parents, and the supporting teachers and principals.

The function was hosted specifically in response to the Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, who is also the patron of the African Centre for Dispute Settlement, who displayed a keen interest to come and observe the Project and those involved. Other dignitaries included the MEC for Education, Mr Donald Grant, the CEO of the Desmond Tutu Peace centre: Nomfundo Walaza, the Dean of Education of Stellenbosch University: Prof Yusuf Wagiet, and the Director of the ACDS Prof Barney Jordaan.
