Students become peace negotiators who must solve a conflict between groups with different needs. They practise listening, identifying shared interests, negotiating compromises and reaching agreements without aggression or humiliation. The lesson focuses on skills teenagers can use in friendships, group projects, school life and online discussions.

Students take part in a realistic school challenge: they investigate rules that may be unfair, decide how to improve them and vote on a new class agreement. They learn that good rules should protect people's rights, apply fairly and give everyone a chance to express their opinion.

Students become digital detectives investigating realistic online situations. They learn how to recognise suspicious messages, verify information before sharing it, protect their privacy and decide where to seek help when something online is unfair or harmful. The focus is on practical skills they can use immediately in group chats, social media and everyday online communication.

Students become a Youth Justice Team. They investigate a realistic school conflict, examine different perspectives and propose a fair solution. They discover that peace is not simply the absence of arguments, but also the ability to listen, respect rights and resolve disagreements fairly.
