Peace Education Program September 01, 2010

The Peace Education Program in Louisville has planned a one-day workshop this month that will teach participants some pretty cool-sounding games of cooperation for youngsters and a three-day institute developing skills in conflict resolution, mediation and prejudice reduction that our church leaders and volunteers may want to take back to their congregations.

On Tuesday, Sept. 14, the Cooperative Games Day Workshop will be devoted to teaching cooperative games such as Giants, Wizards and Elves, Rattlesnake and Alien Slime that participants can take back to their school, community center, place of worship, youth group, scout troop and even their family. 

The workshop costs $45, which includes written material and a boxed lunch. Participants should wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Pre-registration is required and limited to the first 40.

Cooperative Games Day sounds like a great session for youth...except they will be in school on Tuesday.
