Procedure:

  • The class is divided into groups of three or four students. The instructor presents small cards (or a list) with a series of possible problems and conflicts (see sequence 5.1). These can be either individual conflicts or common problems and conflicts. Each group selects two conflicts (if time is an issue, only one conflict) to resolve together.
  • The groups then discuss their ideas for a possible resolution of the problem(s) they selected. The ideas are recorded in writing or as a drawing to illustrate possible solution possibilities on a poster. They underline or mark in color the solution to the conflict which the groups prefer.
  • The sequence ends with the presentation and discussion of all conflict resolution proposals by the whole class.
