For parents and teachers

A one-page guide to the Konflikt-Simulator: what the site does for pupils, what it does not, how to show it to a young person — and where they can turn if they are not OK.

To the page for young people

What the site does

It helps prepare a difficult conversation — with a classmate, a teacher, the parents.
It asks back where a sentence predictably leads into a fight, and shows examples as a yardstick.
It prepares a calm answer in case the other person blocks, and a conversation card to take along.
On threats, violence or sentences that point to a crisis it shows helplines instead of wording tips.

What it does not do

It is not counselling, not therapy and not mediation.
It stores nothing — no account, no cookies, no texts on the server. So nobody can read afterwards what a child wrote.
It works without AI. Every question comes from a fixed rule that can be read.
It does not have the conversation. The young person does — best with someone behind them.

How to introduce it

Ask first what it is about and with whom — not who is to blame.
Open the page for young people together and let the child type. You help with reading the questions, not with the wording.
Talk about the conversation card at the end. Who says the first sentence, when, where — and what if the other person blocks?
Offer to hear afterwards how it went. The conversation is the point, not the card.

If the child is not OK

With bullying, threats, violence, or when a child does not know how to go on, a prepared conversation is not the right tool. These services help free of charge and anonymously — the same ones the site itself names:

At school, a trusted teacher, school social work and the school psychologist are the first places to go.

The practice bot is not for minors

Next to the website there is a practice bot on Telegram that answers with a language model. Telegram requires a minimum age of 18 in the EU. The page for young people therefore does not point to it, and we do not recommend it for minors.

For now the same goes for the practice room in the browser (/ueben): an AI counterpart answers there too, so it is 18+ until further notice. A version for under-18s needs a legal check first.

Eleven explainer cards on the conversation models are there to download and print — use in class is expressly welcome: To the cards

Frequently asked

From what age is the site suitable?: From about twelve, when a child can write their own sentences about a situation. Younger children need someone to read the questions with them.
Can the school or the parents see what was typed?: No. There is no server that keeps texts, and nothing stays behind in the browser. Whoever wants to keep the card prints it or copies it as text.
May I use the site in class?: Yes, free and without signing up. It suits class council, ethics, language lessons and the training of peer mediators. The method is described openly on the "Method" page.
