About this project:
The student affiliated group, Project Peace, is organizing a Peace
Circle for the University of Colorado. It will take place on Sunday,
November 9, 2008 from 11 am until 4 pm at the University Memorial
Center. There will be ten different circles with 15 participants who
will be a combination of CU students and outside community members who
enhance diversity. Each circle will be lead by a team of one trained
adult and one trained student facilitator. The facilitator staff
includes people such as Oscar Reed, a four time Super Bowl player.
Project Peace hopes to create a lasting impact on the CU campus by
implementing Peace Circles into the student residential live. Ideally
we are envisioning a program in which each RA is trained as a Peace
Circle facilitator and when students first arrive at the university
they participate in a Peace Circle with students in their hall to
immediately work at forming a culture of understanding. The importance
of Peace Circles simply cannot be underestimate
