This small handbook addresses a very big problem - How to change a culture of violence to one of peace. It provides the reader with a step by step method for dealing with conflict we all confront in our day to day lives in our homes, at our jobs, in our schools and in our neighborhoods; provides a plan for volunteers to extend this method of doing peace across our communities and ultimately right across the globe to create a world without violence. Part I of this peace handbook, at first glance, seems to look like just another self-help book for those seeking a way to deal with confronting a conflict such as a local bully who is tormenting them in school or at work; but as we all know looks can be deceiving! No doubt those needing a means to confront such a bully will find help in doing so by learning and applying the nine basic peacemaking skills, identified, described and illustrated in Part I using the nine letters of WE DO PEACE as a reminder of each one. Even if this handbook ended at this point it would still have served those seeking help in handling conflict in their lives by providing them with an easy way to remember the basic peacemaking skills needed to resolve one-on-one disputes in a rational, non-violent way. These skills highlighted by authors Sharon Ernst & Walter Sylvester and effectively illustrated by Jean Roosenberg are not new in the field of conflict resolution. The Conflict Resolution Network based in Australia has been instrumental in developing, promoting and implementing them on that continent over the decades; and has been effective in spreading them globally through adherents who have adapted and used them to deal with all kinds of conflict in all manner of situations and venues. Part II does indeed separate this handbook from most other self-help books in that it extends the scope of self-help to others by introducing us to the concept of WeDoPeace Communities. The authors show us how we can transform our village, town or city into a WeDoPeace Community by the taking of two steps: First, by having our school systems adopt WeDoPeace101: a Pre K-12 package of proven educational and training programs from around the world to teach and train all of us in the use of the basic peacemaking skills of negotiation, mediation and peace circles. Second, by creating a community-wide network of WeDoPeace Teams: Teams of qualified peacemakers who have been trained to help local residents in need of assistance in resolving the conflict in their lives. Many of these adult peace team members will be those who learned their peacemaking skills while students in their school system's WeDoPeace101 program. Part III is a call to action by the authors urging their readers to volunteer and join a movement to make every village, town and city across the globe into a WeDoPeace Community by persuading their local school boards and elected leaders to adopt WeDoPeace101 and to create WeDoPeace Teams. The authors contend that If everyone could be taught and trained in using the basic peacemaking skills from the time they were toddlers the result would be that within just a few generations a culture of peace would replace the current culture of violence that now envelops our world. The logic is compelling, but most would argue that it is too simplistic and not realistic. Yet the authors show you not only where the programs that constitute WeDoPeace101 already exist, but also where they have successfully taught and trained tens of thousands in the skills of peacemaking for more than two decades. A World Without Violence is a personal self-help handbook of peacemaking skills for those wishing to be able to confront and resolve conflicts in their lives. It is based upon well proven and documented conflict resolution principles and programs. At the same time it presents readers with both a vision and a plan of action as to how these peacemaking skills can be scaled up to bring about A World Without Violence.
