Handout 2: The three musketeers and conflicts
 |
Duration:
30 min |
 |
Aim:
Participants will view conflicts from different perspectives and will compare their personal attitudes with those of the other group members. The aim is to realize that conflicts are two faceted: they are disliked and might cause fear but on the other hand they offer a potential for development. |
 |
Materials:
copies of the form for each subgroup, pens |
 |
Instruction for implementation:
The facilitators ask the students to split up in groups of three and discuss the different perceptions of conflict. The next step will be to find common answers and note them on the paper. Afterwards the groups exchange their results in the plenary. Evaluation procedure: The facilitators will underline the two faceted characters of conflicts. |
