Teachers present conflict situations at school, in daily life in France and around the world. Pupils, organized in groups, have to find solutions individually and then collectively. They have to select the solution, which is the best for the whole group, in some propositions and they have to argue their point of view. They have to explain to others groups why they chose this solution.
Problems are described in the document. Pupils have many cards with different solutions: they have to choose in those cards a solution.
