Petra Gregorčič Mrvar, PhD, and Jana Kalin, PhD, of the Department of Educational Sciences at the Faculty of Arts, discussed this topic with the students of the Ljubljana Secondary School of Economics.
The activity consisted of a card game (Barnga), reflection and discussion. Attention was paid to the discussion of problem and conflict situations in which it is necessary to use strategies of taking the other into account, facing the expectations of others, negotiating and reconciling different opinions in order to achieve goals, etc.
The participants found that the clash of different rules, views, opinions, etc. often leads to disagreements and misunderstandings between different individuals or groups, and therefore, together with the young people, they tried to answer the questions of how we individually and collectively deal with these challenges.
The students participated very actively in the card game and in the reflection and discussion, and concluded the activity with associations about the topic: something new, educational, interesting, frustrating, etc.
