Abstract
With the aim of enhancing traditionally social mediation practices, which are present in the Mozambican context, mostly in community courts, we needed to know the extent to which the existing practices can be considered as socio-pedagogical mediation practices in Mozambican communities. Starting from this concern (which is qualitative in nature), the research centered upon the sense in which social mediation practices are conducted in community tribunal setups, where the participants are some of those implicated in the social mediation practices. The study centered upon the community court of Mutauanha (Nampula, Mozambique). From the results acquired, the authors concluded that social practices of community mediation are highly valued by the community actors who give it a sense of pedagogy. Apart from what they learn from it, they value the aspect of mediation as key in the promotion of positive social relations. The participants of the research acknowledged the fact that judicial processes of social mediation have the potential of helping to strengthen the sense of community belonging, the potential of helping to develop strategies for conflict resolution, and finally, community courts have the potential of helping people with a the pedagogic power of being auto-formative. As far as the profile of the mediators is concerned, the study conducted concluded that although there is still no professional recognition of this kind of conflict resolution in other communities, those who have been involved in such kind of resolutions consider it to be positive and more conciliatory than what is followed in other situations. - info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion |
