A brand new FREE digital education resource, recommended for
teachers of grades 6 – 12 in the US, has recently been
launched in association with Scholastic. The resource can be
previewed at

The resource provides 19 lesson plans and 26 classroom
activities for exploring issues of peace, nonviolence, and
the protection of the environment. The free resource,
created by UK non-profit organization Peace One Day, aims to
further learning in the areas of conflict resolution,
global citizenship, human rights and the link between
sustainability and peace, using the UN International Day of
Peace 21 September as a focus. The resources are linked to
the documentary film The Day After Peace, which charts
Jeremy Gilley’s (founder of Peace One Day and director of
the film) journey to establish the first annual day of
global ceasefire.
Each lesson plan refers to National standards and fit well
within the frameworks of History/Social Studies, Civics and
Government Studies, English/Language Arts, Environmental
Science and more. To find out more about the educational
resource and to show your students what young people can do
tomake peace, please go to:
