OUR MOST POPULAR PEACEMAKING EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Peacemaking and Hope for the Future
Participants will explore the importance of identifying and naming signs of hope as they work for peace with justice in their communities and our world.
Imaging Peace
Participants will examine the role of the imagination in creating, promoting, protecting, and sustaining a culture of peace in their families, communities, and world.

Franciscan Values and the Act and Art of Peacemaking
Participants will examine values for justice, consider Franciscan values as expressed in the life of St. Francis of Assisi, and explore the many ways that Franciscan Values inform our actions in creating and sustaining a culture of peace.
Weaving A Culture Of Peace
Participants will explore seven strands — seven themes — important for weaving a culture of peace for all peoples of our world. These include the ability to value peace, to imagine peace, and to give name to our images and experiences in order to promote a culture of peace; to examine and develop systems and structures that can support a culture of peace; to establish and monitor policies and practices that can protect a culture of peace; to educate adults and children both about and for peace; and to engage in actions — alone and with others — needed to preserve and sustain a culture of peace.

Themes include 1) creating peaceful environments through affirmation, communication, respect for diversity, nurturing touch, and cooperative play; 2) identifying and resolving family and community conflicts peacefully; and 3) living gently and peacefully with others in the classroom, the community, and our world.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR BUSINESS and COMMUNITY LEADERS
Respect for Diversity
This two-part program combines theory, research, experiential activities, and group discussion as participants discover effective ways to identify examples of stereotyping and patterns of exclusion and learn effective techniques to counter these patterns in a variety of business, school, and community settings.
Part One: Uncovering The Subtle Curriculum
Participants will review a variety of print and visual media that too often communicates subtle yet powerful messages about difference in a society. Whether in children’s textbooks or other media, such an analysis reveals a “subtle curriculum” based on stereotyping and/or patterns of exclusion.
Part Two: Journey Toward Inclusion
Participants will discover steps that they can take to move beyond the boundaries and borders that separate people and toward a society that sees beacons of hope in diversity. Participants will learn how to counter the effects of the subtle curriculum in their schools and places of work, and in their communities in order to help build a society that honors, treasures, and celebrates diversity in our world.
Soul Work: A Corporate Challenge
Participants will examine the connection between spirituality and work; identify their own personal spiritual values as these relate to their vocational and professional life; examine ten expressions of spirituality evident within a workplace setting; and explore how personal values and one’s personal spirituality can be respected within a workplace setting in a manner that honors the workers and enhances the corporate environment for all who work there.
