This paper describes the process of documentary analysis to meet the request of the Ministry of Education of Guanajuato (Mexico) to develop a Model to Address, Prevent and Eradicate School Violence. The analysis of public policy documents, in the light of the theory of Convivencia (peaceful coexistence), allowed for a dialogue between two different approaches: One on violence prevention, which ultimately leads to the control of antisocial behaviors, and another on Convivencia, more oriented to the creation of nurturing environments and capacity building. It was relevant to identify shared basic principles and equivalent notions from both perspectives. We also observed some divergences, gaps and inconsistencies that were addressed. The proposed Model shifted the focus of public policy from school violence to convivencia as the focus of attention. Based on contributions from sociology, philosophy, conflict theory in schools, pedagogy and school organization, the resulting Convivencia Model proposes three levels of intervention: Containment, Conflict Resolution and Transformation of Pedagogical and Organizational Practices oriented towards inclusion, equity, and participation. The model represents an accessible resource for analyzing public policies, elaborating school self-diagnoses, designing convivencia training proposals or conducting research.
