The Uniqueness of Learning P.E.A.C.E.

What makes this program unique to address a world of ever increasing violence is threefold:

1. Pro-active: Instead of attempting to solely eliminate violence among young people, it effectively educates children, and accompanying adults, in dealing humanely, respectfully and fairly with themselves and one another. There are many institutes around the world focused on youth, which are working to combat the increasingly oppressive power of aggression and apathy. They, too, are working to improve their environment and on putting out fires. Learning P.E.A.C.E , however, emphasizes positive social mastery and conflict resolution which then prevents situations from becoming so inflammatory in the first place.
2. Comprehensive: This comprehensive program helps develop all the necessary skills for building peaceful relationships in daily life. Self-developed rules and basic behavioral guidelines for encountering life's unavoidable difficulties and working through conflicts resulting from differences among people are key elements. The standards of self-confidence, empathy, accepting and appreciating differences, and solving problems together are consistent throughout all ages and in any group. Children know, at all times, what to expect and what is expected of them. The attitude of unity and team building create the groundwork for truly harmonious relationships. Cooperation, companionship and, most profoundly, optimal unfolding of personal potential are the results.
3. Non-prescriptive nor religiously framed. The values upon which the tools, attitudes and behaviors are built are age-old and found in all religions, cultures and people on this planet. The training is process-oriented, meaning that current circumstances, methodology, personal and group goals serve as the structure used to implement the content of the program.

Learning P.E.A.C.E. has the potential and the momentum to reverse the onslaught of violence, aggression and sense of isolation that is being propagated by mass media. It imparts tools to balance out the lack of learned social skills and mores due to the breakdown of traditional social structures. It is a program that is not culturally confined, nor a passing fad. It is a world-class program which can and should be implemented at every level in every company and institution wishing to truly educate its youth to be prepared for the world they are to inherit; to prepare them in a way that they can create positive changes and ensure peace for our collective future.

Being comprehensive and pro-active, non-prescriptive and effective prove this program to be outstanding in the field of violence prevention.
