Win-lose, lose-lose, or win-win? The final lesson 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 lesson. The lesson ends with groups designing conflict resolution board games.
