| This presentation will describe both teachers' and participants' experience with the Pilot Peaceport Program as delivered to the youth of Unity in Marin. The Peaceport Program, which was developed in conjunction with AGNT's Youth Task Force, aims to educate mid-level youth in active, tangible and creative ways in order to help them connect with the meaning of a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence as they connect with each other. The child friendly format of this program can be used in churches, schools and other community groups, and provides solid nonviolence training for the next generation's commitment to Peace. This session will provide both a thorough description of the program as it was conducted at Unity in Marin, as well as a demonstration of activities as experienced by the participating children. In addition, there will be an opportunity for small group discussion on important factors in teaching Nonviolent communication to children of this age group. There will also be time for Q & A. |
