Education Resources that promote Global Understanding & Coop

by Emily Dew

Jul 6, 2010

As the nations of the world become more interdependent, it is increasingly important for students to begin learning about intercultural communication at a young age. Peace One Day’s FREE Education Resource contains a comprehensive lesson plan, Intercultural Cooperation, designed to promote communication and cooperation between students as part of a global community. The lesson provides an ideal opportunity for students to engage with others from around the world sharing their ideas and commitments for Peace Day September 21. With the help of Skype technology, students are asked to communicate with students from another country in order to discuss the significance of Peace Day and to inspire further action on the Day. In this way, young people worldwide can become integral to creating an annual day of peace and global unity.

Peace One Day’s FREE Education Resource contains a comprehensive lesson plan, Intercultural Cooperation, designed to promote communication and cooperation between students as part of a global community. The lesson provides an ideal opportunity for students to engage with others from around the world sharing their ideas and commitments for Peace Day September 21. With the help of Skype technology, students are asked to communicate with students from another country in order to discuss the significance of Peace Day and to inspire further action on the Day. In this way, young people worldwide can become integral to creating an annual day of peace and global unity.

This lesson is part of Peace One Day’s wider Education Resource aimed at advancing active learning in the areas of ending-bullying, conflict resolution, the United Nations and global citizenship. By using the FREE Peace One Day Education Resource teachers can plan fun, interactive lessons which encourage students to think about the meaning of peace and to communicate their ideas clearly while simultaneously promoting knowledge and awareness of other cultures. Speaking to other students via Skype is a major part of this lesson, but it also is designed to spark discussion about the practical implications of technologies such as Skype on global conflict and on cultural awareness.

Peace One Day is a non-profit organization whose goal is to institutionalize Peace Day across the globe, making a day that is self -sustaining. The Education Resource provides the tools that allow students to participate in this process as they explore significant issues affecting their daily lives.

The Peace One Day Education Resource was created through extensive work with U.S. educators and features 21 lesson plans with a wealth of embedded short films that can be shared in class to inspire and entertain.
