Language: Estonian

Published with the support of the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research.

The aim of the book is to give a practical tool to teachers and pupils to motivate them to use the short plays for the purposes of values education. Teachers and pupils are expected to modify the texts on the basis of their own interests.

The book includes 27 plays. The short plays represent ethical dilemmas and they function as a starting point for the discussions concerning ethical questions. Most of the plays were written for the competition of plays which was organised by the Centre for Ethics in 2011. The spectrum of authors is wide: there are teachers, writers, pupils, directors of extracurricular activities etc among the authors.

The plays have been modified by the editors, explanatory paragraphs and questions have been added in order to initiate the debate in classrooms.
