People have always had to deal with problems of war and violence.

We deal with these kind of problems not only between Countries around the world but also in our neighborhoods and schools.

The Camp Internet Peace Studies Class will give you the background, vocabulary and historical insight to understand that peace is possible, that it has often been the normal condition of things.

During our study we will work to build skills which we can apply, in our classroom or homeschool, which will help make each of us better able to facilitate or make possible Peaceful Communication and Interaction, (between different peoples and between people and the earth).

Your study of Peace this year is divided into 2 main units.

First is "Peace Studies". This unit involves history, art and literature, economics and agriculture.
The second part of your Peace Studies is called "Conflict Resolution".

This unit involves the study of why and how to engage in Consensus decision making as well as how and when to engage in conflict resolution or mediation. Useful skills at school, in the community and at home.

Some of the vocabulary, (words) in our Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution class will be complex words like "consensus".

A big part of what we will all learn during our studies will be "new words".

Our vocabulary of peace related words will increase and with the new vocabulary or new words we know will come a really great increase in our ability to "talk about" and "ask questions" about Peace.
