PeaceCasters is a teen leadership group that Peace Education Program inherited from the Center for Interfaith Relations (CIR). Former staff members Mark Steiner and Barbara West founded the youth group in 2007 to use digital media to explore the issues of peacemaking and justice, interfaith dialogue and cooperation.
Peace Ed began rebuilding PeaceCasters with the launching of a summer camp. A fabulous multi– cultural, city wide group of 11 - 17 year olds spent 5 days becoming a community of learners and teachers who practiced conflict resolution, respect for diversity and team building.
They worked on video, lighting, editing and production skills, creating three word videos to convey their messages of peace, respect, cooperation and self-esteem. Four teen alums of the program led small groups that created videos based on these themes. Adult volunteers supported the youth and were a resource for them as they brainstormed, listened, problem solved and created their final messages.
Check out the following "Three Word Video's" produced by our PeaceCasters teens.
Please note: Peace Ed would like to give special thanks to LaDonna R. Murphy, Graphic Designer, for her assistance in converting the files making it possible for them to be viewed on our website.
