The Red Cross Street Mediation is methodology that is administered by the Norwegian Red Cross. The Street Mediation project was first developed in the late 90`s as a reaction to an increase in crime, gang activity and violence amongst young people in the capital of Norway, Oslo. The main objective of the Street Mediation methodology is to give youth tools and skills to manage challenges and conflicts constructively and without the use of violence. Young people between 13 to 25 years are trained in non-violent communication, conflict management and mediation and are empowered to become positive role models, meditators and peer educators in their local community.
