ABSTRACT Through this activity the learners acquire skills to solve conflicts in a peaceful way using dialogue and taking responsibility. Also, they will learn about any local/regional/international historical moments that drove manhood to serious situations which should never happen again. To reach this purpose, they will take part in a role-play activity which will set them in the context of a real battle/conflict/war familiar to them, leading them to draft their own Treaty of Peace or any other solution to solve the conflict.
