The Calm-Led Peer Mediation Programme at Goldsmiths University
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process guided by a trained student mediator. There's no judgment, no formal process — just an honest conversation with the right support.
It's free. It's confidential. And it starts with a phone call.
For three years, Goldsmiths' peer mediation programme — delivered in partnership with Calm Mediation — has been helping students resolve conflict and build stronger communities. Our trained student mediators support their peers through structured, confidential conversations rooted in restorative practice. We believe that when students have the tools to handle conflict well, everyone benefits — individually, and across campus.
