Win-lose, lose-lose, or win-win? The final instructional activity in the "Resolving Conflict Module" brings together all that participants have learned in the module. They first list and prioritize the steps in conflict resolution, then develop a plan that addresses their conflict resolution goals created in an earlier instructional activity. The instructional activity ends with groups designing conflict resolution board games.
