Workshops for Emerging Artists Working In Education
Facilitated by: Damian Brown

Circle Keeping – Peace Circle Training
Delivered by Peacebuilders International (Canada)
Tuesday, November 26, 2013 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Studio 408 (4th Floor)
401 Richmond Street West

Learn to use the arts in collaboration with peace circles to build skills in resiliency, conflict resolution and self awareness. Through interactive circle training this workshop will provide hands-on experience with peace circle activities and will enhance pedagogical skills in teambuilding and communication. Arts educators will learn how to open dialogue on topics such as values (respect, honesty, commitment, empathy), conflict resolution, peer pressure and making positive choices. Incorporating peace circles into your community arts programs can result in increased youth participation in constructive community initiatives, decreased harmful activity and can contribute to a stronger sense of safety and belonging.
