FYI - this was send by George Price Centre...
Starting November 1, 2008, the George Price Centre for Peace and Development will be offering Conflict Resolution classes both for Primary and High-school students. The activity-filled classes will help children to develop the skills necessary to be able to peacefully work out differences with others.
The Centre has prepared comprehensive activity packages, complete with the objective of the exercises, the materials needed and clear directions on how to take the students through each activity. We are now extending an invitation to all volunteers who want to make a difference to become a Mentor for Peace. The list of Mentors for Peace will be called upon whenever a Conflict Resolution class is booked by a school, at which time you can let us know whether you will be available to lead that class.
Become part of the change we can bring about in Belize! Organizations and corporations can also support by encouraging their staff to become a Mentor for Peace and allow them time-off to teach a class from time to time.
If you want to be a Mentor for Peace, or are interested in receiving more details on the programme, please contact Elsie Alpuche at 822-1054.
If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war,
we shall have to begin with the children. — Mahatma Gandhi |
