This event is comprised of a half-day poster session (from 1-3pm) followed by a round-table discussion (3-5pm).
Through this forum we hope to initiate a college-wide dialogue that captures how the students and faculty from various departments and programs of Teachers College are approaching the notion of community participation in education in their research and professional engagements. The event is open to others from outside the Teachers College community.

Peace Education Center Colloquia Series - Free and Open to the Public. In this special colloquium visiting research scholar Magnus Haavelsrud will explore the relational interconnections between peace education content, form and structure in which the following inquiries will be addressed: What is the knowledge (content) at the center of peace education? How do we decide which forms of communication to recommend in peace education? How do we view the relationship between contents and forms?

Peace Education Center Colloquia Series - Free and Open to the Public. Presented by Educator/Activist Barbara Barnes. Race to the Bottom is a simulation activity based on The Transnational Capital Auction developed by Bill Bigelow of Rethinking Schools. The workshop enables participants to experience the dynamic nature of capital with its own needs and inclinations and concludes with a discussion of potential ways to divide money and resources more equitably within countries and throughout the world.

Educating During Violent Political Crisis:
The Initiatives of a Palestinian-Israeli Joint Educational Association in Minimizing the Effects of Violence and Terror
With Special Guests:
Adina Shapiro and Ghassan Abdullah
Co-Directors, Middle East Children’s Association
Co-Authors of Proposed Educational Annexes to Peace Accords
Recipients: The Hague Appeal for Peace Prize, 2002 and the UNESCO Prize for Peace Education, Honourable Mention 2000

Peace Education Colloquia Series:
What is the role of education in creating a just and sustainable peace? What are the realistic and practical strategies of education and how can it strengthen and complement existing plans for peace in the Middle East and around the world?

Please join us for this special conversation with the Co-Directors of MECA as they share with us their educational visions, strategies, methodologies and courage.

Background:
In light of the various plans for Peace Accords in the Middle East, such as the Road Map, the Tenet Plan, the Nusseibeh Ayalon proposal and the Geneva Initiative, it is noted that none of these have taken into account the educational component necessary for the sustainability of any such program. MECA has begun drafting language to include an educational component in any existing or future accord. They will discuss an education template they have developed for any peace accord aimed at settling violent disputes.

MECA, founded in 1996, brings together Israeli and Palestinian teachers to create mutually acceptable educational programs that the teachers will take back to their schools and colleagues. MECA will share their strategies and methodologies of bringing teachers together from Palestine and Israel for training and dialogue encounters.

TC Tokyo Public Seminar:
This Colloquium will address the unprecedented and urgently important challenges the United Nations now faces in fulfilling its mission to work to maintain peace and security in a world radically different from the one in which the U. N. Charter was formulated. The possibilities for a more secure world order have never been under greater threat, and the need for world citizens to understand what the United Nations can and is doing in the face of these challenges never more important. Please join us for a discussion of these crucial global issues.
