Hello Cheyl,
I am thinking of K-12. It needs to start early. If you have any resources in any age level, please let me know.
Thanks
Welcome, Mithah! What age group are you thinking of?
Warm regards,

I have not seen any comprehensive curriculum on peace education. Any suggestions.
This is a space for the forum's peace educators to connect, share ideas, stories, resources and collaborate.
Profile Information
- What motivated you to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?
- As a child, growing up in communist Albania, I experienced oppression and humiliation. The communist authorities did not even allow me to go to high school. Education was perceived to be dangerous for certain people. This is perhaps one main reason that drives me to help people whose basic rights are denied. I pledged to myself that I would work on promoting peace and human rights around the world.
- Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself (no more than 3 paragraphs)
- I am a graduate of Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs. I have been working as education administrator in New York City for six years and a as a teacher for 9 years. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses on the History and Philosophy of Education at Lehman College, City University of New York.

Stephan E. Nikolov, PhD said… - Dear Mithat,
I am coming to Washington DC on June 7; first 3-4 days I'll be there with my daughters, who then leave for two weeks for a study trip to Guatemala, and until 26th, when my wife arrives, I'll be alone with the she-dog collie - which means also that I can't travel outside for more than 7-8 hours.
Best regards,
Stephan
