The Teaching Peace Initiative is an organization run by students for students. Its mission is to provide the tools for participants to create positive atmospheres of peace, and bring what they learned back to their own schools and local communities. This course will be an engaging discussion-based conversation, in which we will talk about what peace means personally to us through a variety of interactive activities, and we will share our diversity of experiences and opinions to build strategies for how we can make all of our futures more peaceful.

What causes conflict, and how can negative manifestations of conflict, like bullying, be treated and prevented? The third of four sessions in The Teaching Peace Initiative core curriculum, Differences and Prejudice will focus on these questions through a series of activities, discussion and opportunities for self-reflection.
