Veto Online
The object of the project veto-online was to develop e-learning modules for constructive conflict behaviour. Students (16 to 22) of five European countries were to developing playful creative electronic learning modules –hence strengthening their own intercultural democratic conflict culture.
The modules contain examples of conflict situations. Questions and suggestions lead to various stages of the conflict’s development using images (illustrations, comics, photos) and music. By answering to multiple choice questions at specific conflict turning points and through practical explanations the users experience step by step whether the appropriate rules of constructive communication are being utilized.
The narratives are supposed to lead users through mazes with handicaps and wrong ways. Finding their way and following directions of basic information about escalation and decision making the users gain know-how and in the end build consensus.
One main principle of this project was to learn theoretically and, simultaneously, practice these techniques. The participating students observed and also learned to understand better their own conflict behaviour.
