The four concepts of peace are: Peace for Me: Helps children to discover the wonder and beauty within themselves, where peace begins. Peace for Us: Explores daily relationships, stressing cooperation, communication, and conflict resolution. Peace for Everyone: Encourages children to examine the possibilities for peace within groups, including cultural appreciation and diversity. Peace for the Planet: Addresses planetary stewardship, care and appreciation. This pilot year, ten elementary schools have agreed to join the Pavilion to work to develop and implement peace activities in their schools. The Pledge School program is designed to promote learning and respect by providing area schools with resources that further the development of peaceable schools, neighborhoods, and communities. Pledge schools receive field trips, teacher in-service training, school-based peace activities, and coordinated service learning activities, and pledge school participation for the pilot year is free of charge. The program will be evaluated and refined during the first year with the intention of creating a model that can be replicated in other schools in other communities around the world over the next five years.
