FREE Multi-media Education Resource Grades 6-12

by Clare

Jul 17, 2009

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. In fact, the organization responsible for the resource, Peace One Day, recently toured schools in the north east and visited Glastonbury High in CT. I hear it was a great day and Jeremy Gilley, founder of Peace One Day, spoke with just under 1000 students all of whom seemed thrilled with the film! The school actually participated in our pilot program in December so we have a very good relationship with them. The resource can be previewed at [link removed]=

The free resource, created by UK non-profit organization, Peace One Day, aims to advance active 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 free resource, created by UK non-profit organization, Peace One Day, aims to advance active 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 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. To find out more about the educational resource and show your students what young people can do to make peace at school, in their community, and in the world at large, please go to [link removed].
