Project PEACE
“Peaceful Endings through Authorities, Children and Educators”
- Project PEACE has the power to transform lives, and it is a great tool for improving school climate by allowing young people to develop the skills of peaceful conflict resolution, care for others and restorative justice so needed in our world today.
- Project PEACE combines mediation with anti-bullying education and youth court procedures to make each participating school, and the world beyond, a better place.
The four sessions will start with an overview on December 10, 2024, and then have these three sessions follow: - Mediation (January 7, 2024)
- Anti-Bullying Education (January 14, 2024)
- Youth Court Procedures (January 21, 2024)
A Pennsylvania lawyer attending all four sessions will get 3 substantive CLE credits and 1 ethics CLE credit; if you attend less than all of the sessions, you earn substantive credits only.
A Pennsylvania teacher earns Act 48 hours by participating.
All credits will be applied after the final session on January 21st.
Registration is free but required for credit. Donations are welcome.
