In this three-session workshop students explore diverse understandings of peace. Using free fall writing, activities, and books, students discover that peace encompasses much more than simply a lack of war; it can be found in ourselves, in the classroom, in nature and in the world. Students are introduced to the stories of young people throughout the world who have created peace and are empowered to embark on a similar journey of their own.

In this three-session workshop, students explore what makes people act out in anger. Through stories, drawing activities, sharing opportunities, and/or visual aids, students are given the opportunity to reflect on the impact of their personal styles of expressing anger, as well as to practice healthy expressions of emotions. Students learn about personal boundaries and the feelings and behaviours that result when boundaries are crossed. The sessions are spread out over a period of time to allow students to practice the skills learned during the program.
