The Resource provides 19 lesson plans and 26 classroom activities for exploring issues of peace, nonviolence, and the protection of the environment. The resources are linked to the documentary film, The Day After Peace, directed by POD founder, Jeremy Gilley. The film charts Jeremy’s journey to establish the first annual day of global ceasefire and nonviolence with a fixed calendar date; culminating with Jude Law accompanying Jeremy Gilley to Afghanistan to spearhead a massive vaccination against Polio on Peace Day, thus proving that the day works, the day saves lives. In April 8000 free copies of the film were delivered to schools encompassing grades 6 – 12 in the six New England States.
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.
