Curriculum of Hope for a
Peaceful World Committee
Curriculum of Hope for a Peaceful World is a Standing Committee of Connecticut State Organization. Founded by long-time DKG Member Jeanne Morascini in 1985, the mission of this committee is to study and promote critical thinking, conflict resolution, and cooperative learning skills that will help us move toward a more peaceful world. For the past 35 years, members have consistently presented keynote addresses, workshops or exhibits at Delta Kappa Gamma International Conventions and Conferences and at State Conferences in Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. They also have spoken at many chapter meetings in CT. Presentations generally focus on strategies for infusing peace education concepts into curricula or ideas for reaching a peaceful mindset in your daily lives.
Committee members are 12 active and retired educators who are dedicated to peace in their own lives through many varied personal affiliations. They come together to work on projects of current interest toward the furthering of peace in our world. Visit the Curriculum of Hope page to read more about several events over the past 6 years.
For 35 years this committee has published 3 issues annually of the Curriculum of Hope for a Peaceful World Newsletter which is currently distributed by PDF email to over 1200, and by postal mail to 500 in 22 countries. The Newsletter provides resources, materials, ideas, links to information focused on global peace, human rights, personal skills and environmental issues to foster health, education and a sustainable planet for all humankind.

A Resolution for Peace
|
Whereas...We as educators have the responsibility to develop our students' basic knowledge of world events and issues, and students must understand and respect the underlying values of all societies;
Whereas...Students must be able to learn how citizens gather information, consider opposing opinions, come to conclusions, and act on their beliefs; Whereas...Each individual makes an important contribution to peace in our world, and there is a warlike quality pervasive in our daily lives; Whereas...Educators should show their students that they are willing and able to help students strive for a peaceful world; Whereas...It is important for educators to develop the conviction needed to combat hopelessness and work toward insuring our survival; Be it resolved...We, women educators, as members of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, mut provide our students with the critical thinking, conflict resolution, and cooperative learning skills necessary for them to become responsible and active citizens striving for positive change and a peaceful world. Adopted by the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, August, 1986, Indianapolis, Indiana, from the original resolution adopted by Alpha Kappa State May 4, 1985 |
