Activity 2: Option 1 - Making a Peace Plan for Peace Day
Ask Option 1 students to identify someone with whom they want to make peace on Peace Day. Make it clear that students do not have to name the person with whom they want to make peace. Instead they can call them ‘Person A’ or similar.
Students can explore the following with their partners:
• Can you imagine being in a positive situation or doing a fun/interesting activity with Person A? What might it be? See yourself with Person A in that situation.
• How will you make contact with Person A? When will you do it?
• What will you say to Person A? Do you need to use words? What else could you do? Perhaps give them something, or do something for them, as a peace offering.
• If speaking to Person A is not appropriate perhaps you could write an email, card or letter. • Write either: a) what you are going to say or do, or b) a letter, card or email to send.
• Read your message or explain your gesture to your partner. Ask your partner to imagine themselves as Person A. Ask them to say how they felt receiving the message or hearing about the gesture. Also consider the following questions:
» Are there any lines that blame the other person or might provoke further conflict? » Can these be removed or changed?
Ask students if any would like to share or discuss their messages/gestures with the class. This process may help others still unsure about the content/direction of their messages and gestures.
End the class by encouraging students to carry out their Peace Plans on Saturday 21 September; inform them there will be an opportunity to feed back to the class at the beginning of the next lesson (after Peace Day). If appropriate, let students know that you are available to give advice and support between now and 20 September.
Important note to share with students: Offering reconciliation does not necessarily mean it will be accepted, but it is an important step as it clearly indicates a willingness on the student’s part to resolve the conflict. Fully resolving the conflict may require a deeper exploration of the conflict’s roots. The purpose of this exercise is to establish an atmosphere wherein further dialogue can take place. Further ideas on approaching peaceful dialogue can be found in Lesson D: Conflict Resolution Model.
Activity 2: Option 2 - Bringing People Together on Peace Day
Ask students to identify an occasion their family and/or friends enjoyed doing an activity together. What was it?
Students can explore the following with their partners: • What activity could you do with your family/friends on Peace Day? Here are some other suggestions:
» Have a meal with family and/or friends » Play a game together. Ideally choose a game that requires communication, like a board game. » Could you make something together? Perhaps food or a piece of art. » Play a sport together. Have a mini-tournament. » Go for a walk together. » Is there a task that usually falls to your parents where the whole family could help? For example do you have a garden that needs tending? Or is there something around the house that has needed doing for a long time?
