This enquiry investigates the rules that help us manage conflict between friends, at school, in law and in war.

This resource has been developed for teachers, youth workers and other professionals who work with children and young people, particularly those aged 11 - 16. Designed around the themes raised by the documentary, it offers a way to engage with ‘Young Plato’ using some of the same practices of philosophical enquiry shown in the film.

This sample resource comes from a Toolkit produced for the Thinking Changes project by Thoughtful and written by Dr Grace Lockrobin, Kate Halliwell and Peter Worley and designed and edited by Łukasz Krzywoń.
