peacemaking skills to the youth in our state.
Please share this
with children and organizations you know. Schools, teachers, faith
groups, and other youth organizations are encouraged to sponsor and guide
students with their submissions.
Peace Week began our school programs in 2017 when Pax Christi Little Rock
(PCLR) worked with school counselor Mildred Calhoun to develop a peace
curriculum for Little Rock’s Rockefeller Elementary. The following year
the organization worked with Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) and Little Rock School
District to expand these non-violence lesson plans and resources for
elementary-age students. Today over 15,000 students participate in
Arkansas Peace Week from all over the state.
