Conflict Resolution

Understanding how conflicts are a barrier to development and why there is a need for their resolution and the promotion of harmony e.g.

• encouraging discussion of different viewpoints, including those expressed in literature
• exploring conflict through drama
• explaining the causes and impacts of previous conflicts
• showing the importance of resolving conflict fairly
• explaining how conflict demands on an environment arise and the difficulties that these can cause
• teaching methods of conflict resolution
• encouraging understanding of, and empathy for, other points of view
