Description | During 2017/2018, we expect to offer this program to 490 students in Tiffin, Ohio and also offer this program to an additional 500 students in rural Northwest Ohio. We expect that 90% of the students in these classes will cooperate and demonstrate greater self awareness thru use of nonviolence skills. We wish to reduce the incidence of bullying by 10 % in one school year. |
Used for | Project Peace will use this money to teach ten nonviolent life skills to up to 990 Northwest Ohio K-12 students in efforts to reduce the incidence of bullying and violence in our schools. This funding will cover a peace teacher stipend for 108 classes, mileage to the schools, and all supplies for the students. Limited funding will also be available to the school to host their own Peace Event to showcase what they have learned to their individual communities. |
Benefits | By teaching nonviolence skills Project Peace helps create a culture of peace personally, communally, nationally and internationally; Ultimately, the long-term shift will be a change in our community as young students mature into peaceable adult citizens. The effort begins by building awareness of justice issues within ourselves and others and then practicing skills learned helps to integrate nonviolence into daily lives. Project Peace for K-12 students aims will reduce the incidence of bullying and violence in schools by expecting all children of diverse backgrounds to be respected by all and to know what nonviolent skills to apply appropriately if they are not given equal respect from their peers. |
