Engage in an exploration of peace — its meaning, practice and impact. Through thought-provoking discussions, interactive activities and insightful guest speakers, we examine peace as a personal and societal ideal. We discuss community-driven initiatives in Delaware, the transformative role of art and culture and the intersection of peace and social justice. We learn practical steps for meaningful action. Community connections and interactive projects are offered as options to enrich learning.
