Client: Kids Create Peace
Project: Design new site.
Web Address: www.kidscreatepeace.org

Project scope: The approach of KCP is unique –It’s pre-emptive. It teaches kids how to prevent conflict before it begins, by increasing harmony and cooperation instead of competition in school, on the playground and home environments.

Program Goals: Students learn how to cooperate, to treat each other with respect, create together, and transform disagreements – even conflict – into peaceful and productive outcomes.

Attaining the Goals: Kids Create Peace is an hour in length, offered once a week, during or after the school day. A variety of methods engage the kids, including discussion, video clips, skits, student presentations, games, and role-playing. This direct experience of the shifts they can create in relationships, circumstances and events empowers them to carry what they now know to all parts of their lives.

Sites for the Program currently are public, charter and private schools in the Coachella Valley, California school districts. The pilot year (2011-12) was hosted by Vista del Monte Elementary, in Palm Springs. Its success, illustrated by videos and in parent, teacher and student surveys, brought invitations from four schools in Coachella for 2012-13; endorsed and funded by ASES – (After School Education and Safety), a program of the YMCA.
