A person using Role Play Peacegames is able to introduce conflict resolution concepts in an enjoyable way. A mediation session is least productive if people just talk about personalities, because parties are unlikely to change personalities. Players also grasp the power of alternatives such as competition, compromise and collaboration. Students play the parts of parties who have disagreements, and the part of a mediator who help the parties to reach agreement. Role Play Peacegames are available for all types of conflicts for all ages.
All games are attractive with large clear printing.
Students are placed in small groups for simulations. Then each party in the conflict reads sheets which describe their positions and interests. The mediator reads a description of the mediator's job, which tells the mediator how to conduct the mediation session. Individual games are also available. Constructing mediation role-plays separately from any curriculum and marketing them as games allows for some useful applications.
