Think of a time when you disagreed with or were in conflict with someone else. How did you resolve it? What other ways could the situation have been resolved? Which alternative would have achieved the best (win/win) outcome for all involved? Develop a role play acting out the best alternative. Write your own poem or story about building peace plan foryour own community. Imagine that you have fled your home during a conflictyou are able to return home after a peace resolution has been negotiated.  How would it feel to return home? What might your home and community look like? What would be needed to rebuild your home and community? What order would you want these things? Create a peace plan and present it to the class. Create and implement a class school or community peace plan. Primary Global Education
