ActivityConflict is a normal feature of social life - Titlewe all experience conflict in one form or another. This activity focuses on these experiences of conflict in order to increase the understanding of what conflict is.

Purpose:To increase participants' understanding of what conflict is

Participants:3-4 to 15

Time: 45-60 min.

Materials:Notebook
Pens
Flipcharts
Marker pens
Process:This activity can be used before the content "What is conflict?" - in order to get started with the topic.

1. Ask participants to take some time to individually answer the question:

Think about a conflict you experienced - What happened and why do you use the word conflict to describe the situation?

Give sufficient time (ca. 10 min.).

2. Organise participants in small groups of 3 (depending on group size). In the groups, participants can discuss their respective conflict experiences with the task
to extract some general characteristics of conflict from your group's examples and experiences.

3.
Gather possible defining criteria/general characteristics from the groups in plenary on a flip chart. You can look at them again after you have introduced content.
