peace books in the schools
See our latest information and work on peace with young people here.
Between 2006 and 2018, the Gandhi Alliance for Peace collaborated with elementary schools to bring ideas of peace and nonviolence into the children's learning. We provided books on peace and peacemakers; the children read and talked about Gandhi, other peacemakers, and the tools of nonviolence.
If you are interested in a program like this for your school, contact us!
The donated books were selected by school representatives from a master list that includes some 40 volumes on Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Cesar Chavez, plus more general topics such as developing positive self-esteem and getting along with others.
The school then organized a program or assembly on Gandhi and his teachings. Every school creatively engaged the students in learning about peace! In Whittier Elementary School, for instance, the music teachers composed a song about Gandhi. The entire student body sang about him at their student-of-the-month assembly.
All of the children who participated each year learned alternatives to violence!
Elementary schools have included Jackson, Whittier, Meadowlark, Moss, and Bennion in Salt Lake City; Eagle View and Myton in the Uinta Basin; and Pleasant Green in Magna.
Other partnerships have been forged with Salt Lake's Horizonte Instruction and Training Center for high school-age students; Salt Lake City's Urban Indian Center; and the Yap Public Library on the Micronesian Island of Yap.
