The Peacemaker Program, Inc.

The staff of The Peacemaker Program, Inc. have completed production on Paths to Resolution, an interactive Conflict Resolution Training package for schools and organizations.   The package will be available for FREE TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS in the United States serving grades 6-12, and will also be available for purchase by non-profit and for-profit organizations.

The package consists of four primary components:

• Paths to Resolution, a video training.  Peacemaker staff appear as presenters and aid participants in learning the basics of Conflict Resolution through lecture, interactivities, and a student workbook.  The video training is divided into seven forty-five minute blocks to make deployment easy in a school setting.
• Paths to Resolution: The Game, an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure style game played on the PC.  The game is set in a Medieval fantasy world, and uses 3-D characters to play the various roles.  The game reinforces concepts presented in the video training.
• Playing Peacemaker, an electronic book and database of interactivities designed to teach anyone how to be a better facilitator.  The database contains tips, tricks, theory and nearly 200 different games and puzzles suited perfectly to groupwork.
• Role-Play Reference, an electronic book and database of role-plays.  Everyone agrees on the importance of role-play in training, but it's seldom used well.  This reference guide gives tips and a framework for the use of the role-play tool.  In addition, it contains a score of role-plays ready-made to teach conflict resolution concepts, many of which have word-for-word scripts to make it easier than ever to integrate role-plays into your practice. 

The entire Paths to Resolution package is designed to be used by a facilitator to help communicate important concepts such as where conflict comes from, escalating behaviors, and productive problem solving.  Using only a PC and a projector, anyone has a fun, engaging, and immediately useful curriculum designed to teach both theory and skills. Development of Paths to Resolution was funded, in part, buy The JAMS Foundation.  You can click here to order a copy of Paths to Resolution.  You may contact us at training@thepeacemakerprogram,org with any questions or comments.
