Conflicting ValuesLesson/Activity Plan Time/Materials Content Frame 1. Instruct GLs to sit in groups of three or four. 2. Frame the session by stating that on our programs, we often find ourselves in situations where: 2 min. a. There is a conflict situation based on differing values between the group/program and the community; and/or b. There is no organizational policy that indicates what to do in a difficult situation. 3. Offer these illustrating examples: a. The male foreman of the work project doesn’t want female volunteers to take part in manual labor required for the work project. b. The community where we are working/living burns all of their trash. Context 1. Tell the group to brainstorm examples of situations they have personally experienced on our programs or that Setting they can imagine in which there may be a values-based conflict between the group/program and the community and where there was a lack of clarity about what to do. 5 min. Introduce 1. Introduce the “Conflicting Values Decision-Making Tool” (Note: untitled in the manual). Say: “The intention of this Tool tool is to help us to make decisions about our actions when values-based conflict exists between the group/program and the community.” 10 min. 2. Ask GLs to look at the tool in the manual. Refer to the Decision-Making Tool poster. Explain each component from the top down: Manual, a. Write down the situation. Decision-Making Tool b. List possible options to resolve the situation. poster c. Complete the matrix to consider, compare/contrast and evaluate the following: stakeholder related values, positive and negative impacts. d. Make a decision. Guidelines 1. Review “Guidelines for When to Behave According to One Own’s Value Versus Others’” with the full group. 5 min. ManualThis material was developed by American Jewish World Service, Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice and BBYO PanimInstitute with support from Repair the World.

Conflicting ValuesPractice Tool 1. Ask GLs to return to their small groups. Explain: “Choose one of the values-based conflict scenarios your brainstormed earlier. Apply the tool to this situation. Talk through each step. Use the “How to Decide When to 15 min. Behave According to One’s Own Value Versus Others’” page in the manual for additional guidance. 2. Ask GLs to create the Decision-Making Tool on a blank piece of paper and to fill in their ideas as it relates to this Manual, scenario.paper/pensGroup Share 1. At the end of the discussion, ask one representative from each group to share the scenario, the group’s decision, and how they came to that decision. 20 min. 2. Allow time for questions and discussion as a full group. Conclusion 1. Say: “Unless a decision will violate organizational policy, there is no ‘right’ answer to these conflicts. The Conflicting Values Decision-Making Tool is your best resource for making an intentional decision in these 3 min. situations. It’s important to remember to speak with your co-leaders during the decision-making process. Also, begin anticipating now what situations you might need to address and use this opportunity to talk to other GLs and staff from your organization. Note that this same tool can be applied when thinking about conflicting values between anyone, including program participants. And remember that you have resources at your organization as well who can help you think through the decision-making process and clarify any confusion regarding policy.”This material was developed by American Jewish World Service, Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice and BBYO PanimInstitute with support from Repair the World.
