environment they use during sports activities by cleaning playground and courts.
Peace and values education: The teacher helps students to develop fair play

Comprehensive sexuality education: The teacher provides sitting volleyball
exercise and sets instructions that prevent sexual harassment or any kind of gender
based violence like sexual abuse and physical contacts oriented to the sexuality
intention.
Genocide studies: While conducting sitting volleyball exercises a teacher should
take a time to explain students how sports should be used to fight against Genocide
