The Young Peacemakers Club began in 1992 with an all volunteer staff and seven children in Sioux City, IA. Since that time, Young Peacemakers Clubs have started all over the world by people who believe that each life makes a difference. The skills of peacemaking have been promoted by this global grassroots effort to over 120 countries in such diverse settings as schools, churches, homes, community centers, resettlement camps, and as a special focus in other existing organizations. |
Comprehensive Peace Education is taught using simple and fun activity centers highlighting four focal areas:
|
Peace for me
helps children discover
the wonder
and beauty
within themselves,
where peace begins. |
|
Peace for us
explores daily relationships,
stressing cooperation,
conflict resolution
and communication. |
Peace for everyone
encourages justice and the
possibilities
for peace within
groups of diverse people. |
Peace for the planet
addresses planetary care
and appreciation. |
