PEACE ADVOCATE PROJECT LTD CHARITY Extract from TRUSTEE' REPORT

As a Rotarian, teacher, parent or carer you will be very familiar with the challenges young people have to deal with in everyday life and for some these are difficult to cope with. The Peace Project is an interactive programme, which is developed with young people to find answers, taking their views and ideas into account. It recognises, enables and empowers young people to make informed decisions, which will affect their lives and the lives of others. Rotary Ireland has had great success with the initiative already through the great work of Mallow Rotary and the Peace Award at last year’s Young Citizen Award ceremony. We are asking all Rotary Clubs to raise awareness of this programme and identify schools, community and church groups, so we can deliver training to create Peace Advocates in the community. Students will become Peace Advocates and qualify to take their school forward to gain the Blue Flag of Peace for their establishment. The training takes 8hrs and can be delivered over 2days or online in 2 hour sessions over a number of days. It requires a minimum of 6 students plus a teacher and /or interested adults per school. Rotarians and adults are asked to join in the training so as to support and mentor the school. Costs for this 18 month project is £600 per school. The price includes, training, programmes, logbooks, all power point sessions used, assessment for Blue flag and certification.
