Not a debate — a negotiation

Peer mediation from the Söke e-book. You do not look for a winner by vote; you write one shared sentence.

35 minutes · Classroom

Materials

  • Two short conflict texts and a mediator card

Steps

  1. 1

    Read two peer conflicts.

  2. 2

    A mediator listens; the parties speak in turn.

  3. 3

    A shared sentence is written. There is no vote; there is an agreement.

Inclusion

Anyone who does not speak may give a written word. No forced confession.

At the end of the session

The agreement sentence goes on the wall or into the file.

Home task

At home, peer mediation from the Söke e-book is told in one sentence: the aim is not to win by vote, but to agree on one shared sentence.
