Abstract

The digital era presents new challenges for peaceful coexistence, driving the need to educate citizens capable of resolving conflicts collaboratively in both physical and virtual environments. This article analyzes the role of Alternative Dispute Resolution Methods (ADR) as key educational tools to promote responsible digital citizenship in the 21st century. Based on a documentary review and critical analysis, it explores the necessary competencies for peaceful conflict resolution in the digital sphere, the importance of integrating ADR into educational programs, and the benefits of their implementation in citizenship training. Examples of good practices are presented, and methodological and pedagogical challenges for effective application are discussed. Finally, recommendations are proposed to strengthen a culture of peace in digital education through the use of ADR.
