Assignment 2 Thinking Globally Just setting up this power point so we can all work together and edit as we go. Just throwing ideas around

If we go with peace.... I don’t know if you can edit this power point and then save it to your desk top and re upload it when you are finished... Somehow I lost what I was doing so I am going to try it this way. If it gets too hard you can tell me how you want the slides set up or we could it... Whatever works ok... We cannot insert any pictures until the end as it will become too large for the wiki to handle.. I have lots of peace pictures I will share with you another way and we can work out what we want to use. That’s if Kathy wants to go with the peace theme. The purpose is to convince the staff that what we are presenting is relevant to all students and the whole school can participate.

Why is peace important!! To develop respectful relations Teaching students that peace starts with the individual Building self esteem Taking control of situations We live in a world where conflict and violence continues to erupt. Because of the increased access to technology and through the media we are often overwhelmed by the images of war. Sadly their are many who have had firsthand experiences of these conflicts. Peace is important because without it we risk destroying the only world we have, we risk countries hating each other, international trade ceasing and many more wars breaking out. If we can lean learn to reject violence, endeavour to prevent conflicts by addressing the root causes and aim to solve problems through diologue and negotiation:and if we can learn the skills needed to have peaceful relationships we will increase the liklihood of peace occuring in the wider world in the future.
