Based on the stories presented to the students, parents learn the how-to of the peace process. Combines with the student assembly and CD, StoryTools for PeaceMaking, of stories to take home.

Through stories that are both insightful and entertaining, the audience is introduced to the how-to of the peace process. Gems of wisdom are gleaned from stories from China, India, Japan, Ghana, Nigeria, Israel, Persia, Native America and Mexico. Or choose for older students, THE PEACEMAKER assembly, and return to the Iroquois roots of the United States Constitution where Peace is the Law (forth grade and up). Characterizations, audience participation, rhythm and song make the stories come alive. Poignant questions personalize the stories’ metaphors, clarify the methods and structures for non-violent conflict resolution and creative problem solving. The performance may be followed by breakout discussions for further application of the lessons to specific concerns and issues.
