Peacem akers is an exciting new program for
Ontario students in grades 6-12. It's a project
created by PeaceWorks, Canada's student peace
movement and Mennonite Central Committee
Ontario, one of Canada's oldest and most
trusted charities. PeaceWorks' mission is to
empower student peacemakers through
personal, local and global peace programs.
MCC began in 1920 by sending tractors and
supplies to people stricken by famine in Russia,
and they're now doing relief, development and
peace work in over sixty countries.
Four t ransform at ional experiences you'll
have w hen you becom e a Peacem aker:
1. Your class or school group will connect with
one of over 600 MCC Peace Clubs operating in
schools in fourteen African countries. It's like
having pen pals on another continent!
2. You'll take part in an international service
project by collecting supplies or money for MCC
Hygiene Kit s to help people in need.
3. You'll learn peacemaking skills in an in-class
or after-school Peacem akers Workshop. There
are elementary and secondary level workshops,
and both are aligned with Ontario Ministry of
Education curriculum.
4. When just one class or group in your school
participates in the program, your entire school
(grades 6-12 only) gets to go to Peace Day
Ont ario, the MEGA peace and music festival
happening in June 2018. It's our way of saying
THANK-YOU FOR WORKING FOR PEACE!
