Conflict Resolution Role-Play


HOMEWORK PREPARATION


Background for Teachers:


A key aspect of the Peace One Day initiative is the notion that individuals can make a difference and, by extension, that individual actions on a large scale can help initiate real and significant change. In the film Jeremy talks about the need for ceasefire and non-violence not only between countries but also in our schools, our homes, and the wider community.


In the film The Day After Peace, Jeremy visits the United Nations Headquarters, where UNICEF and the World Health Organization propose trying to establish a ceasefire agreement in Afghanistan on and around Peace Day, 21 September. Accompanied by the actor Jude Law, Jeremy


Purpose of the Lesson:


In this lesson, discussion and debate are utilised to help students understand what conflict is and where it comes from, based on their own life experiences. Students will participate in some exercises using effective communication that will act as a starting point for dealing with aggression. As the lesson progresses, students will adapt an existing conflict resolution model to help them deal with conflict in a non-violent way.


Lesson Objectives:


At the end of this lesson, students should be able to • Demonstrate the importance of clear communication • Identify sources of conflict in their own lives • Explain the link between personal conflict and conflict in the world at large • Complete the ‘Three Steps to Peace One Day’


If your conflict resolution activities are to become part of a Peace Day celebration, students might prepare a programme following the process they used in class, to demonstrate to visitors or younger students how to approach situations of conflict. The homework attached to this lesson forms the starting point for Lesson 3C – Conflict Resolution Model.


travelled to Afghanistan to find out how they could help make this a reality.


It became apparent that, in order to achieve a ceasefire agreement on Peace Day, many complex networks of communication had to be recognised and understood. It is hoped that by appreciating the interconnectedness of non-violence at a personal level and global peace, students will see the wider benefits of learning how to resolve conflict in their immediate environment and understand how such personal resolutions can permeate society at large.


Please help students to consider the Three Steps to Peace One Day
