Forget the Milwaukee Chicago rivalry.
The Marquette University Center for Peacemaking is spreading peace and conflict resolution program in Chicago Jesuit high schools. The Peace Works Program is creating more fellow Peacemakers in teachers and students to reduce conflict and promote a peaceful community. The program provides role models for respect while building listening, meditation and conflict resolution skills.
This isn’t the first time the Center has developed training programs for Non Violence. There have been programs in Pulaski High School and Washington High School in Milwaukee as well as St. Giles Elementary in Oak Park, IL. These programs get results in transforming the students decreasing discipline referrals and increasing problem solving behaviors.
Stay tuned to find out more about the Peace Works Program.
