On December 1, 2017, Master's students of PR-501 and PR-502 groups of the Educational and Scientific Law Institute together with the senior lecturer of the Department of Theory and History of State and Law Victoriya Cherevatyuk conducted a master class on constructive conflict resolution for high school students of Kiev secondary schools №46, № 174.

The purpose of conducting lessons of conflict science at school is the desire to share knowledge and practical skills of constructive conflict resolution with adolescents. In addition, the masters helped students learn to evaluate the conflict situation impartially. Another skill, acquired as a result of communication, is the development of team interaction skills for students who collectively prepare a master class, sharing responsibilities between themselves, and for students who have learned to listen to each other and work out common solutions.
During the class, each of the senior pupils was able to offer to discuss the conflict situation from their experience. Altogether, both pupils and students, learned to recognize the signs of a conflict situation, even before its occurrence, to identify causes, develop active listening skills, the ability to distinguish between subjective and objective causes of a conflict situation.
All those who participated in the master class expressed the common view that the ability to resolve conflicts peacefully is not given at birth, it is a skill that needs to be learned and developed throughout life.
