Conflict analysis – the ability to identify the root causes of a conflict – is a fundamental skill for peace-building. Nothing helps kids learn this skill more quickly than role play. Acting out someone else’s conflict builds empathy as well as critical competency. Some schools in Australia have SCRAM https://www.scramwa.com/ a mediation competition that is very similar to our mock trial program. Materials for the program are free online and include lots of role plays that are relevant to teens. Try having your class role play and nonviolently resolve a conflict. You might be surprised at the insights and compassion of your students.
