Resolving Conflict video

9th March 2001, 12:00am
Few punches are pulled in Resolving Conflict, an admirable video pack on violence for 14 to 18-year-olds. The 100-minute video covers nine topics with a telling mixture of documentary and frank interviews. Subjects range from bullying at school and road rage through murder and racism to the politics of Northern Ireland and South Africa. The accompanying booklet outlines many kinds of possibe classroom responses, from small-group investigation to whole-class debates. The materials, particularly those concerned with death and forgiveness, make the world of soap opera anger look frivolous and one-dimensional. Resolving Conflict costs pound;44.65 (+ pound;4.50 pamp;p) from Team Video, 105 Canalot Studios, 222 Kensal Road, London W10 5BN. Tel: 020 8960 5536. Fax: 020 8960 9784.
