With Metro Council Funds, We See 38% Increase In Youth Conflict Resolution Skills
Peace Ed conducted conflict resolution workshops with twenty two youth from Neighborhood House in Portland this summer. After 20 sessions, the youth reported a 38% increase in their conflict resolution skills! Peace Ed has a rich collection of stories from youth and adults about our influence on their victories over violence. Now that we have developed pre and post testing, we will have statistical data to pair with our stories of success (Click here to view the data info). Thank you to Council Members Blackwell, Bryant-Hamilton, Engel, Owen, Ward-Pugh and Welch for being our partners on this first step! |

That being said, Peace Ed is getting involved in anti-bullying work very carefully. We want to acknowledge the seriousness of true bullying incidents, while being aware that much of what is being labeled as bullying in our current climate is actually conflict. Read more>
