Empowering civic activism toward a culture of peace.

Experiential learning program on working with youth for peace

I'm excited to introduce you all to PlayInTheWild.org. We offer full-immersion education in the principles and practices of nonviolence for youth, families, and educators. We define nonviolence as a lifelong commitment to seeing beyond differences, respecting all living things, and being of service to ourselves and others.

Of our four main programs, our upcoming Animator's Training is really unique. This is an experiential learning program for anyone working with youth; it teaches educators how to create curricula for rich learning around nonviolence, mindfulness, wilderness, interdependence, and cultural diversity. More information is in the attached brochure, and at the Animator's Training webpage. The primary trainer for this program is Catherine Cadden, author of Peaceable Revolution Through Education and an inspiring educator for the last 26 years (who is also available for speaking engagements).

If this is of interest to you or any of your networks, we would greatly appreciate you sharing our website link via an email, social media post, and/or weblink!

We would be happy to offer a free one-hour Q&A conference call, on a topic of your interest - for example teaching empathy, or transforming internal obstacles to effectively lead & connect with youth, etc.

Please be in touch!

Many thanks,

Alli
