Some useful links for resources

1.
http://www.militaryfreeschools.org/curric.htm
I didn't go through all their pages and I don't necessarily agree with everything they say, but it's worth to visit and see what you can wanna take or not.

2.
http://www.teachpeace.com/movies2all.htm

They have LOTS of media resources you can use regarding the issue. Most of their links seem available. 

Hope this blog will remain active and we can actually DO something with it! :)

Global Campaign for Peace Education (GCPE)

Hello dear friends, hope everything's going well with you.

First of all, thanks to David for such a rapid work ;)

Here's the info. for the Global Campaign for Peace Education (GCPE) that I mentioned during our meeting. They send you a monthly e-newsletter if you sign-up, or you can just visit their website. Their newsletter is about "news, events, action alerts and reports of peace education activities and developments from around the world." I'm sure they provide it in various languages other than English as well(not in Korean though..T-T) It's pretty  cool, so I recommend you to visit the website below.
