The theme is building peace at home, in the community and in the world. At a recent editorial board meeting the question of the role of technology in building peace was raised. If you would like to submit an article on the topic you can get in touch with Angel Orlando, the editor (contact below). I also threw my hat in the ring to write an article. Would anyone on the list be interested in co-authoring or contributing to the article? If you would like to co-author please email me off list. If you have any contributions (say some examples of how technology is being used in an educational setting to build peace, organizations or individuals you know of doing this work, or major points you think an article on the topic should address) please send them on to me and also send them to the whole Tech list. I'll be sure to include contribution credits to all who contribute. Best regards, Mariann The Change Agent Call for Articles Building Peace at Home, in the Community and in our World Adult Learners and Educators: Conflict is a part of life whether we like it or not. How we deal with it makes a difference between peace and war, safety and violence, growth and stagnation. In this issue we are looking for writings, lessons, activities and reflections addressing the theme of building peace at home, in the community and in the world. We want to hear from people who have experienced conflict or even war in their lives and the lessons they have learned through those experiences. We especially invite writings and reflections from people who have learned to deal with conflict constructively at a personal or community level. Questions to Think about: " How have you dealt with conflict constructively in your life? What lessons have you learned? " How do you manage conflict in the classroom? " If you have participated in training on conflict resolution, how has it affected your approach as a teacher? " How do you relate to the saying, 'Peace begins at home'? " Write to us about your involvement in building peace in your community? " How do you feel about the current wars the U.S. is involved in? " What can ordinary people do to build peace in the world? $50 stipend is paid to each student whose writing is selected for publication. Articles must be received by April 25, 2005. All articles will be considered. Suggested length is 500-1,200 words. Final decisions are made by The Change Agent editorial staff.
