On January 15th, The Peace Ed's "Be the Change" Community Choir performed at the Kentucky Center for the Arts in honor of
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.!!
The choir was under the direction of the amazing Cynthia Fletcher. In just two short practices Cynthia had the choir performing I Am Willing, by Holly Near. What an honor for our choir to be invited to perform at this annual community-wide celebration.
Thank you Cynthia and choir members!

With Metro Council Funds, We See 38% Increase In Youth Conflict Resolution Skills
Peace Ed conducted conflict resolution workshops with twenty two youth from Neighborhood House in Portland this summer. After 20 sessions, the youth reported a 38% increase in their conflict resolution skills! Peace Ed has a rich collection of stories from youth and adults about our influence on their victories over violence. Now that we have developed pre and post testing, we will have statistical data to pair with our stories of success (Click here to view the data info). Thank you to Council Members Blackwell, Bryant-Hamilton, Engel, Owen, Ward-Pugh and Welch for being our partners on this first step! |

That being said, Peace Ed is getting involved in anti-bullying work very carefully. We want to acknowledge the seriousness of true bullying incidents, while being aware that much of what is being labeled as bullying in our current climate is actually conflict. Read more>
