The Landscape of Our Human Needs
To understand peace requires an understanding of non-physical needs such as belonging and self-worth and how they get tangled in trauma. This is a multi-part unit.
In this 24 min. video , Chappell discusses 4 of these key non-physical needs. You can also download "A New Peace Paradigm," a short essay on the topic, as background reading. We have prepared a worksheet to accompany the video.
Metis: An Introduction
This multi-part unit uses the story of the Greek goddess Metis to help students learn how to make good decisions, take effective actions, and unlock the power of waging peace.
The Constellation of Peace
This four-part unit leads students into a deeper and more practical understanding of peace that helps them to navigate the storms of life, the uncharted waters of new technologies, and the turbulence of our national and global challenges. It has been designed for middle school but can be modified to suit older students and adults. Each unit is linked separately, below.
