Teachers: please visit our the Educational Materials page at our new website !
One day, a teacher was showing art by Iraqi students to a
third grade classroom in Minnesota. A boy looked up
and asked in a shaky voice, “You mean, there are children in
Iraq?”
In response to this innocent, heartwrenching query, the Iraqi & American
Reconciliation Project (IARP) has created educational materials
for school students, youth and adults.
These lesson plans are part of the Iraqi & American Reconciliation
Project (IARP)'s response to this innocent, heart-wrenching
query.
Show these PowerPoints and join us in helping the coming generations
of Americans to see beyond war into nonviolent means for settling
conflict.
Here we have for you Letters for Peace and our service
learning project Water for Peace. To facilitate access
to our materials, PowerPoints can also be downloaded as slideshows,
as explained below. Scripts are available as well.
