Student perceptions have not yet been formed by stereotypic attitudes and their cognitive development is sufficiently advanced to accept a diversity of viewpoints. Lesson Examples Children as Peace Builders How to Implement Global Ed: give examples of conflict, cooperation, and interdependence among individuals, groups, and nations; investigate concerns, issues, standards, and conflicts related to universal human rights, such as the treatment of children, religious groups, and effects of war. Outcomes Students consider the roles children can play in peace building and overcoming obstacles to peace. Think of a time when you disagreed with or were in conflict with someone else. How did you resolve it? What other ways could the situation have been resolved? Which alternative would have achieved the best (win/win) outcome for all involved? Develop a role play acting out the best alternative. Write your own poem or story about building peace plan for your own community. Imagine that you have fled your home during a conflict you are able to return home after a peace resolution has been negotiated. • How would it feel to return home? • What might your home and community look like? • What would be needed to rebuild your home and community? • What order would you want these things? Create a peace plan and present it to the class. Create and implement a class school or community peace plan.
