Join this free summit, via phone or webcast, to learn practical examples and methods that can be brought into our schools to improve our children’s lives, setting them up for success not just academically, but also relationally and emotionally.<\/p>\n

We will also explore what we can do collectively, and you can do specifically, to bring peace into our schools. Whether you are in the United States or anywhere on the globe, there will be valuable information for you. Sign up for this free two-day summit!<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Why is this important?<\/b> Schools are our main social vehicle for learning. While the primary focus of teaching in schools is predominantly on academic skills — social, emotional and relational skills are equally important, and deserve FAR greater emphasis than they currently receive. We face conflict and sometimes violence at almost every stage and in every area of our lives. In fact, conflict that is not dealt with effectively can be one of the biggest detriments to success both in school and beyond.<\/p>\n
