OBJECTIVE

Form moral judgement and encourage reasoned dialogue by sharing different opinions and points of view on the consumption of inappropriate content.

TIME EXPECTED

25 - 30 minutes.

DEVELOPMENT

In small groups, students will face the following moral dilemmas, try to make a decision about them, and then present their decisions to the large group.

DILEMA 1

You have received a violent video via Whatsapp (for example, with fights, insults, destruction of furniture, animal abuse, etc.) and you have to consider whether or not to continue the chain by sending it to your classmates. You know that if you don't continue it, others will be able to do it for you. What will you do?

DILEMA 2

The head teacher has caught you watching a video on your mobile phone of two classmates fighting and asks you for an explanation. You know that you didn't record it, but that other classmates you know have recorded it and sent it to you. The head teacher wants to know who is responsible in order to take action. If you don't give him the source, he will sanction you. What will you do?

DILEMA 3

The boy/girl you like is hooked on a violent video game, which you know your parents won't let you play. You love spending time with him/her and he/she invites you to his/her house one evening to play his/her video game. What do you do?

Students will organise themselves into mixed transnational teams and present their answers in the forum provided for this task.

Hungary
