Overview
In this lesson pupils will discuss the principles of simple mediation strategies and apply these in role play scenarios to explore how people can voice and resolve their differences. The activities are designed to develop the pupils’ communication skills and empathy as they engage in mediation talks which require them to walk in someone else’s shoes.
