Metro-Atlanta Public Schools
TFP met with local educators on Sunday, January 13th, 2008 to learn about how Peace Education
has been implemented into schools in Australia! We met Principal Mashid Jones, and heard about her success in co-creating,
promoting, and teaching these character development, virtues-based curricula, called the Peace Pack. We are looking to obtain
these curricula and to begin to use them with Atlanta area children.
Lectures on Peace
Dr. Gail Lash offers lectures on Peace principles and concepts, for Teacher Training days, and
other special group gatherings at your primary or secondary school, or public venue. Her talks include multi-media PPT presentations,
participatory exercises, and group discussion. Contact her for a customized lecture on Peace for your educational group! Fees
range from $100 to $500.
Workshops & Classes on Peace
TFP offers workshops on Living The Peace Path - on definitions of Peace, concepts of Unity, Non-violence,
Cooperation, and Being Peace Inside. Dr. Lash is talking with Atlanta Public Schools and with Gwinett County Schools about
teaching these peace concepts to various audiences: adminstrative staff, teachers, parents, children (in school and in after-school
programs), and community members.
Additional class topics available include: Understanding & Honoring Diversity; Knowing Oneself; Finding Your Essence
& Power; Consultation: Justice in Action; Healing Racism; Community-Based Ecotourism; Imagining a World at Peace; Empowerment
Workshop for Girls; World Café Discussions; and Open Space Technology.
University Courses
Dr. Lash is excited about teaching these peace principles and concepts to a broad range of university
and college students. She has created several academic courses and filled them with not only cutting edge information, but
also with ample opportunity for individual and group thought and reflection. In her classes, Dr. Lash embraces the Arts,
facilitation techniques such as Open Space Technology, and field trips with service opportunities. Please contact Dr. Lash
if you think that any of these courses would complement your departmental programs.
