Peace In Education

Project Peace

“Establishing lasting peace is the work of education”

Maria Montessori

I’m back on the war path again – beating the drum of peace!

I think “Peace” an essential part of any school’s curriculum, even an essential part of an EFL/ESL textbook. Look around the world today and you can’t reach any other conclusion.

I’m relaunching Project Peace as a classroom on EFL Classroom 2.0. Consider joining our Peace Train and making your own Project Peace video to share this year. I’ve made it easy – just download a peace pack song and get started. Here’s some inspiration – what other teachers have done. I’ll be getting my new student teachers this year to participate (see some previous ones in the collection). Let’s give peace a chance!

Project Peace finally is “HOME”

Project Peace

I started Project Peace 2 years ago. I’ve been amazed by the response and how other teachers have motivated their students and brought “peace” into their curriculum through song (and taught a lot of English!).

I will be doing more with the project this year and especially so now that we finally have “a home”. We’ve moved from our original Ning page to Grou.ps but now reside on EFL Classroom 2.0. I’ve made the change because now EFL Classroom 2.0 is fully public and also has new page making capability – so I can add the Peace Pack materials there. (and consider making your own classroom, school group etc… Groups now have great functionality + you get the content and security of EFL Classroom 2.0).

I hope many will grab a peace pack and make / share their own Project Peace video!

Here’s one of my favs, one of the first. Not using our cards – they went way out there!
