| Purpose | Supports young people in preventing escalation of online conflict, practicing empathetic communication, and engaging safely in public digital spaces. |
| Core Approach | Explores everyday choices online and how they shape safety, dignity, and belonging rather than rewarding “right” or “wrong” answers. |
| Context | A young person shares an opinion online that is quickly misinterpreted, leading to public criticism, defence, and rising tension in the comment section. |
| Key Challenge | Managing conflict in a visible digital space where tone is lost and responses are performative. |
| Learner Choices | Respond publicly • Stay silent • Apologise • Clarify • Delete the post • Move the conversation to a private space |
| Lesson | What Learners Practice |
|---|---|
| Impact vs Intent | Recognising how messages are received online and responding with accountable clarity. |
| Public Amplification | Assessing when public responses escalate conflict and when private or delayed responses reduce harm. |
| Active De-Escalation | Using empathy, boundaries, and pause strategies to calm tension rather than provoke it. |
| Takeaway | Learning Focus |
|---|---|
| Repair Over Being Right | Restoring understanding and dignity instead of winning arguments. |
| Boundaries as Peace | Using pausing, muting, or disengaging to protect emotional safety. |
| Accountability Without Self-Silencing | Combining empathy with self-respect in online responses. |
| Key Questions | Why do online misunderstandings escalate quickly? When is a public response helpful or harmful? What does accountability look like without self-blame? How can peace be built in digital spaces we don’t control? |
