your clothing, and necessities, but now you have to fill one suitcase full of stuff that will remind you of
home. What are some items you would bring with you? Why would you bring these items? What are their
symbolic or sentimental meaning?
Instructions: In the suitcase below, draw or list all of the items you would bring with you on this year-
long trip. Once you are done, briefly explain the significance of these items and why you chose to
include them in your suitcase.
In the space below, please describe the significance of the items you included in your suitcase.

1.1.6 Activity: Conflict
While you are on your trip, or as you make your way through the journey of life, you are bound to disagree
with people. Conflict is an inevitable event in any relationship, community, or society. However, the ways
in which we resolve conflict is what is important. By engaging in conflict in a productive fashion, we can
come to new understandings about the people around us, different perspectives on many different topics,
and we can reach a new level of understanding and empathy to help us become better citizens and
people. You will have further opportunities in the upcoming modules to engage in conflict resolution, but
for now, we are interested in understanding how you have viewed and engaged with conflict in the past.
Instructions: In the space below consider the questions and answer them with as much detail as
you feel comfortable divulging.
Can you remember a time in your life when you experienced disagreement or conflict?
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
How did you respond to this conflict? In other words, did you get angry? Did you become silent? Did
you go on a walk? Since that incident, what have you learned about conflict which would explain why
you responded that way?
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
How differently would you respond if you could do it all over again?
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
Why would you make these changes?

1.2.3 Activity: Discrimination Leads to Conflict
Discrimination can lead to many different kinds of conflicts. Some discriminatory practices and thoughts can lead to large conflicts, such as war, discriminatory legislation and physical fights. Other discriminatory practices can lead to more personal conflicts such as loss of opportunity for success, broken families, hurt feelings, and general sadness. We want you to think about the effects discrimination can have on people, communities, and the world.

MODULE 1.3: CONFLICT MANAGEMENT
1.3.1 Learning Objectives
− You will understand the relevant vocabulary in relation to conflict and conflict resolution. − You will reflect on national, world-wide, and personal conflicts to understand how they are
resolved.
− You will understand the potential benefits of conflict, and how it can lead to a better relationship
through conflict resolution.
1.3.2 Reading: The Vocabulary of Conflict Resolution
In order to better understand conflict, it is important to become familiar with the vocabulary of how conflicts are resolved. This way, when you are figuring out how to solve a conflict, you can understand the different options.
Instructions: Below are common methods of solving conflicts. Read through the terms and then try your best to match them with the scenarios below trying to identify which resolution strategy was used in each conflict.
COMMUNICATE Communicating is a way to use language, listening and understanding to resolve a conflict.
NEGOTIATE A negotiation takes place when people engaged in a conflict decide to discuss what each of them wants out of the resolution, and they compromise until each of them are happy. MEDIATE Sometimes people want to resolve their conflict, but they cannot come to a meaningful negotiation. If so, they ask somebody to communicate for them in order to come up with a good resolution. That person is called a mediator. He or she mediates the conflict by helping the people work it out. The mediator does not tell the people what to do; he or she helps them decide for themselves.
ARBITRATE When someone solve people's problems for them, then he or she isn't called a mediator, but an arbitrator. When people ask an arbitrator to help them, they must agree to do whatever the arbitrator suggests.
LITIGATE When people cannot work out their conflict themselves, and they do not want to use an arbitrator or a mediator, they can choose to get a lawyer and go to court where a judge will help to figure out their resolution. The lawyer tries to convince the judge (who is similar to an arbitrator) that their client is right. The judge then decides who is right, who is wrong, and they set the terms of the resolution.
LEGISLATE To legislate is to make something the law or a rule. Some kinds of conflicts cause people to try to change laws or rules so the problem will not happen again.

1.3.3 Activity: Scenarios
1. Sandra and Elizabeth are arguing because Sandra borrowed Elizabeth’s car and put a dent in the
side of it. They walk away from the argument angry and do not talk for three days. Sandra decides
to talk to Elizabeth and she apologizes for denting the car. Elizabeth explains that, while her car
is no longer in perfect condition, she understands that accidents happen. Sandra decides to pay
Elizabeth as much money as she can, and promises to take her to dinner early next month.
What kind of resolution is this? : _____
2. Leyla and Fred are getting a divorce and they cannot figure out who will keep the house and who

needs the house, but that Fred can have the car. They decide to hire an attorney and they all go
to court. After listening to the two arguments from Fred and Leyla, the judge decides that Leyla
can keep the house and Fred can keep the car.

4. Yolanda and Khalil each owns a business in the same building. Yolanda owns a nice restaurant,
which is on the ground floor. Khalil owns a nightclub, which is on the floor above Yolanda’s. Every
night, the loud music from Khalil’s nightclub rattles the walls of Yolanda’s restaurant, which
bothers the customers. As a result, Yolanda has lost a lot of customers. Yolanda asks Khalil to
turn the music down, but Khalil refuses. Considering that they cannot come to an agreement, they
hire a third person to research the problem and to come up with a solution for them. This third
person finds out that, if Khalil installs sound-proofing, Yolanda will not be bothered by his noise,
and they can both carry on with their businesses, and both be successful. Khalil is not happy
about the price that he will have to pay, but he must abide by the judgement of this third person.

5. You and your friend are at the bakery, and you both want to buy a mini-cake to take to another
friend’s birthday party. The bakery only has one mini-cake left. They do, however, have a dozen
cookies that also look very good. You and your friend both know that the mini-cake is the best-
baked goods to bring to the party, and you are both disappointed that you cannot each bring a
one. You and your friend decide that you will each bring a variety of cookies to the party, and then
you will share the cost of the mini-cake and tell your friend that it is from both of you.

6. The president of your country and the president of the neighboring country are in a conflict about
illegal guns that are being smuggled across the border. As a result of this illegal smuggling, there
is violence and crime. The two presidents meet to discuss how they can stop the illegal gun
smuggling. They come to an agreement that, in order to help police the trafficking of guns, your
country will give money to the neighboring country to help them hire more police. The neighboring
country will be responsible for policing their borders and keeping smugglers from coming over.

Handout 1.3.1 Organizing My Skit
You are going to write a play illustrating the emotions and attitudes that you identified in the Graffiti Wall
section of today’s training session. Please do not worry, this skit is not meant to be a large production,
and you will not be judged on your acting ability, but it will be a fun way to understand today’s important
ideas.
Instructions: Your group will write a brief, 2 minute skit or play (this can be in the form of a skit, an
advertisement, a soap opera, a music video, or any creative way that you decide is the most useful
way to get your message across) where you will illustrate your particular topic.
Example: Write an advertisement “selling” the top 2 attitudes to use while resolving a conflict. Why
should somebody “buy” these attitudes?
Group’s Topics:
○ Group 1: Write a brief skit showing how each of the 2 attitudes that were identified, are often
displayed in conflict situations.
○ Group 2: Write a brief skit showing how the 2 attitudes (listening, compromising…) are useful
for managing conflicts.
○ Group 3: Write a brief skit showing how the 2 attitudes (calling names, hitting…) are not useful
in a conflict.
Essential Parts of Your Skit:
You can do any type of skit you want, but please make sure to include the following aspects into
whatever type of performance you choose to enact.
○ Part 1: The narrator should explain the attitudes and the context of the skit.
○ Part 2: The actors should act out the skit.
○ Part 3: The narrator should explain the following:
■ Group 1: Why this attitude is often displayed in conflict.
■ Group 2: Why this attitude is so useful in conflict.
■ Group 3: Why this attitude is not useful in conflict.
Group Roles:
Within your own group, you can choose any role you would like; here are some suggestions.
○ Writers/Scribes: Write the script.
○ Artists/Set Designers: Design any props, costumes or set pieces.
○ Narrator: Explain the context of the skit to the larger group.

1.3.6 Communication: One-Way Map
Communicating thoughts and feelings in a positive way during a heated conflict is often difficult. The
following map will help to guide you along the process. It is important to learn which signs to look for
and to understand a few “rules of the road” in conflict management.
Rules of the Road:
No "You" statements. Use statements that begin with the word "I". Do not use statements that include
the word "you," because these statements make people feel defensive.
Slow. Remember, it takes time to settle a conflict. Go slow at first, because conflict resolvers usually
encounter some rough roads in the beginning. Keep using your I-way map to reach safer roads
Detour Ahead. Sometimes tempers are flaring so much that it may be necessary to take a temporary
detour from the communication I-way. Once the tempers have calmed down, you may begin using I-
statements to solve the problem.
Exit Ahead. Most conflicts can be resolved through effective communication. However, if you begin to
feel threatened or unsafe, you should exit the communication I-way and seek safety.
Construction Zone. Construct an I-way statement by following these directions:
− use the word "I" − state how you feel − state the specific behavior that you do not like − state your willingness to cooperatively resolve the problem
Merge Ahead. After using properly constructed I-way statements, individuals can begin to share ideas
for how to solve the problem. Often, the best solution is reached when two people merge their ideas
together.
End of Construction. After reaching a solution that the two individuals agree will work, they can
resume normal activities.

MODULE 1.4: VALUING DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND IDENTIFYING
WIN-WIN APPROACHES
1.4.1 Learning Objectives
− You will define what a win-win approach is.
− You will propose win-win approaches to various conflicts.
− You will reflect on the value that diverse perspectives offer to the solution to a conflict.
1.4.2 Think About It
In the first module, you explored your identity. Next, you reflected on the identities of others and how
differences can often divide us. If we look closer, however, there are often many things that we also
share with those who may seem different from us on the surface. In the third module, you learned about
various elements of conflict management. In this module, you are going to be asked to take things a
step further and consider how you can move from accepting diversity to embracing it as a tool to assist
in managing conflicts and developing creative win-win approaches to these conflicts.
Instructions: In the last module, you listed various conflicts at an international level, community level
and personal level. Consider the conflicts that you listed at the community level and personal level.
Which of these conflicts are conflicts involving people or groups of people? If you did not list any
examples of this nature try and think of a few examples now.
1.4.3 Reading - Win-win Approaches
A win-win approach is the process of considering the needs of all the people involved in a conflict and
developing a solution that addresses as many of these needs as possible. The ideal outcome of a win-
win approach is that everyone involved feels that they have won or are better off. This approach
recognizes the role that diversity plays in conflicts but also underscores that, through conversations and
discussions, different individuals or groups can develop creative solutions that allow everyone to be better
off. This approach goes beyond recognizing that diversity exists, it values the different opinions and
viewpoints of the different people or groups involved in the conflict.

1.4.4 Activity: Win-Win, Win-Lose, Lose-Win or Lose-Lose?
Instructions: Read each example and circle the approach that best describes the situation: win-win,
win-lose, or lose-lose.
EXAMPLE. You are listening to music with your
headphones. Your little brother wants to listen to the
music too. You say no, but he starts to cry, so you give in
and let him use your headphones instead of you.
Lose-Win
A. The university’s Student Council and the Muslim
Student Union are holding an event on the same day
and both want to use the same location. The groups
discuss the purpose of their event and one group
agrees to hold their event in the morning and the
other group agrees to hold their event in the
afternoon.
WIN-WIN WIN-LOSE LOSE-

B. In a soccer tournament, at the end of each match one player from each team is named the most valuable player of the team.
WIN-WIN WIN-LOSE LOSE-

C. A group of workers decide to go on strike because
they believe the company is not treating them fairly.
This means that the workers do not work. The
company loses several contracts because it did not
meet agreed upon deadlines because its workers
were not producing. The company ends up going out
of business and all the workers lose their jobs with the
company permanently.
WIN-WIN WIN-LOSE LOSE-

D. Two farmers live next to each other. One is a chicken
farmer who sells his eggs for a living. The other is
dairy farmer who sells the milk for a living. Each week
they exchange a weekly ration of eggs for a weekly
ration of milk.

1.4.5 Activity: Everyone Wins
Sometimes with a bit of dialogue between the people involved and some creativity, situations that seem
like clear win-lose situations can have win-win solutions. For example, in example C above, it may seem
like if one player of the team is named the most valuable player (MVP) of the game, the other team
members lose. However, if the MVP gives a speech at the end of the game thanking his team members,
coach and fans for his success, perhaps everyone will feel better off.
Instructions: For the other situations above that were not win-win situations, brainstorm a list of
possible approaches for creating win-win situations:
Headphones.

__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
1.4.6 Reading: Steps for Developing Win-Win Approaches
To develop a win-win approach it is important that all people or groups involved are willing to share,
engage in dialogue and are open to the possibility of creative solutions. It also requires that there is
mutual respect and that everyone values the needs, opinions and differences of the other people or
groups. The goal of a win-win approach is not to change the other person or group but to find solutions
that address the concerns and meet the needs of everyone.
Sometimes, however, a win-win situation seems impossible. Here are some questions to answer in
order to have a chance at a more positive outcome:
● What is the conflict?
● What are the needs or concerns of all the individuals or groups involved?
● What obstacles seem to make a win-win approach impossible?
● How can the obstacles be removed?
● What would be considered a win for each person or group? Is there room for negotiation or
adjustment of these wins?
● Are there things that one person or group could offer the other to compensate for the perceived
“loss”?
● What win-win approach do you recommend?

● What potential outcome would you expect from this approach?
1.4.7 Reflection: In Your Own Backyard
Instructions: Identify one conflict or challenge that matters to you and that you listed in the first
exercise but to which you believe there is no possible win-win outcome.

1.4.8 Activity: Challenge
The development of win-win situations requires the involvement of all the parties or groups involved so
that the diversity that each person or group brings to the situation can be truly understood and valued.
Instructions: Identify someone in your community who is also impacted by the conflict or challenge
that you analyzed in your reflection above. Invite them to have a conversation with you about the
exercise. What are the needs, concerns, or obstacles that they identify? Did you consider these?
What do they think about your win-win approach? Do they have another suggestion?
What would it take for you to truly put this approach into action? Would this person be willing to help
you?

Handout 1.4.1: “”Orange You Glad” – This is just a game. Up until this point we have had the chance to define and identify characteristics that make us diverse.
In the orange activity, you were divided into 3 groups and you naturally teamed with your group and
treated the rest of the teams as “other”.
Why was this a problem?
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
Diversity often divides us because our beliefs, values or viewpoints are different. In many cases we
accept diversity but we do not address or discuss it. It is something that continues to divide us.

__________________________________________________________________________________

What are some examples of diversity in your community or your country that tend to divide
people more often than unite them?
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
Pluralism is the philosophy that diverse groups of individuals (race, religion, culture, etc.) should be
able to peacefully coexist, if not thrive. Communities that assume a pluralistic view:
1. Actively work to bring together people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, religions, etc.
2. Seek to understand the differences within their community, learning about each other.
3. Respect the identities and commitments of individuals to their religion, culture, beliefs and
opinions.
4. Participate in open dialogues around diversity and differences to continuously improve
relationships while recognizing that there will not always be agreement.
Have you seen examples of or attempts at pluralism in your community? How do you think
these behaviors could positively impact a community?

In conflict management or resolution, sometimes there are winners and sometimes there are losers. In
the ideal scenario, those affected by the conflict identify a win-win approach, which considers the needs
of all the people involved in a conflict, and develop a solution that addresses as many of these needs
as possible. The ideal of outcome of a win-win approach is that everyone involved feels that they have
won or are better off.

belonging, purpose, and accountability.
1.5.2 Activity: My Community and Me
Based on work you have done throughout this learning theme, identify one or more community conflicts
or challenges that are very important to you and that you have found are important to others as well
(especially considering those people that may be different from you)?
________________________ ________________________ ________________________
Instructions: Review the following list of values and their definitions. Which of these values are
reflected in your selection of challenges or conflicts that matter to you? Check them.
Self-Direction. It is important to be able to think and act independently.
Stimulation. It is important to have a sense of excitement, novelty and challenge in my life.
Hedonism. It is important to experience pleasure and sensuous gratification.
Achievement. It is important to be recognized by others as competent because of my personal

friends and family and within society.
Conformity. It is important to fit in; I try to behave in a way that is acceptable to others.
Tradition. It is important to respect and accept the customs and ideas that my culture or religion
teaches me.
Benevolence. It is important to care about others and behave in a way that ensures their well-
being.
Have your top values changed since the beginning of the training or did you find that the conflicts or
challenges most important to you reflect the values that you communicated at the beginning of this
learning theme?
Circle one: YES NO
Explain.___________________________________________________________________________

1.5.3 Activity: Goal-Setting for Your Future Self
As you move forward, you should be thinking about what you want to accomplish and how you will get
there. Take a few minutes to reflect on what you have learned about yourself, your community, your
role in your community and how this has shaped your aspirations.

At this point, what career path do you envision for yourself? Do you envision yourself assuming a more
activist grassroots approach? Or maybe you envision a more traditional approach of joining a company
or institution that has already been established? Or do you see yourself doing something more hybrid,
by starting your own institution that addresses a need that you have identified in your community?
Check one:
❏ ACTIVISM/GRASSROOTS
❏ TRADITIONAL INSTITUTION
❏ STARTUP COMPANY
Why is this the route that you would like to take? Explain this vision for your future.

1.5.4 Reading: Why Create a Support System?
In this learning theme, you have learned about yourself and others and you have begun to think about
the pathway that will allow you to improve your well-being as well as the well-being of others in your
community. This is just the beginning. You will continue to explore these ideas in the learning themes to
come and will develop skills and an action plan that will help you to realize your aspirations.
This process of defining who you want to be and how you want to make your mark on society is not an
easy one. Along the way you will be faced with challenges. You have explored yourself and your
community. You have come to understand the value of diversity and communication in order to effect
change and find solutions to conflict and shared challenges.
Moving forward you will find that you will have greater success if you can lean on others in your
community, in order to share your successes and your struggles. By sharing openly, you will have a
Building a Better Tomorrow - Learning Theme One – Exploring My World, Your World, Our World
38 | y o u t h i n d e v . o r g
stronger sense of belonging and will have the support needed to push ahead. A sense of belonging is
not about fitting in, it is about being able to be yourself and feel proud of the unique contributions you
make to your community. It is also about feeling that you are supported by your community and accepted
for who you are.
1.5.5 Activity: Building your Cheer Squad
Instructions: Consider the people in your life that are important to you and that support you. Who
do you count on or who knows you well?
Check all that apply:
Parent
Grandparent
Sibling
Other family member ________________
Friend
Neighbor
Teacher
Other ____________________
What relationships could you further develop? _______________________
The people that you have identified are going to be your personal cheer squad as you move forward in
life. For each person you are going to:
Share your vision for your future in order to strengthen your resolve and build a sense of
accountability.
Tell them how they can support you (asking about your progress, listening when things get
tough, working with you on a project, etc.)
Ask them about their aspirations and how you can also be of support to them.
These are not always easy conversations to have, but they are powerful ones. They will demonstrate to
others that you are serious about your future and the future of your community. They will help to
strengthen the relationships that you have and maybe give you the tools to develop new relationships,
especially if you take the time to learn about and share with others.
Once you have had this conversation, take a few minutes to reflect on the process.
− How did you feel in the process?
− What was challenging?
− What was encouraging?
− Do you feel a stronger sense of belonging after sharing with this person?
