Planting, Nurturing and Harvesting the CEEDS of
PEACE
We want to think about
the harvest…
By nurturing the ceeds to help children grow into compassionate,
collaborative and courageous leaders in our families, schools,
work places and communities.
Goals
1. To bring together families, community organizations and school staff to learn the ceeds and strategies for raising peacebuilders.
2. To support teachers in integrating the ceeds of peace into existing curriculum and provide them with professional development opportunities.
3. To support families and community organizations in planting, nurturing and modeling the ceeds in their every day lives with their children.
4. To build bridges between home and school, ensuring children are hearing and seeing similar messages about peacebuilding in both places.
5. To raise generations of peacebuilders who can effectively problem solve the complex issues facing our communities.

When do we begin planting ceeds?
From birth………………….
85% of our brain development happens between the ages 0-5.
Research has noted changes in the prefrontal cortex (critical thinking and judgment), the cerebellum (attention, emotions and stress hormones) and the limbic system (memory formation and controlling emotions) in 3 year olds who are living with toxic stress.
The way we talk to our children, discipline (teach), nourish and structure family life, classrooms and programs is critical to the social/emotional and physical development of a young child.
The earlier we can promote peacebuilding, the better.
