Make it heard

Let it be heard in 2023 – Ivan Gundulic Primary School
Good day, dear students! As part of the Let it heard 2023 competition, we interviewed the students of the Ivan Gundulic elementary school in Dubrovnik about what they think about conflicts, arguments and, most importantly, about reconciliation. Let’s listen to the answers of first, third and sixth grade students.
Why do you like to fight?
Well… I fight because I can’t agree with a person and we don’t have the same thinking.
Why don’t you like to fight?
Because if we fight, we can create problems in friendship.
Because that’s how I lose friends, and I don’t like losing friends.
How to resolve the conflict?
Reconcile and tell why exactly it happened.
For example let’s go his way or mine, then next time differently and that’s it.
So that you go to that person and forgive them or that they come to you and forgive you.
What would you say to people who are fighting?
That they reconcile as soon as possible and that it does not lead to further discussion.
Why is it important to reconcile?
When we reconcile, we have more friends, and if we don’t reconcile, there can be a bigger fight.
Because it’s important to always be friends and help each other.
