Overview

Allan Creighton and Paul Kivel, veteran youth teachers and community activists, have revised their classic book on violence prevention for today's youth. Updating the tools and discussions in the book, the authors maintain the positive message of their successful first edition. They, also, include detailed suggestions for connecting it to the other components of the Making the Peace program: the Making the Peace, Making Allies, Making Friends, and Days of Respect curricula. Igniting the Hope and Idealism of Youth Without ignoring the many challenges facing teens, the authors emphasise that those who work with youth today have as many opportunities as they do obstacles. Creighton and Kivel use their decades of experience with teens to offer: a framework and vocabulary for teaching violence prevention and social justice road-tested exercises for adult, staff and youth training and development guidelines for facilitating discussions on sensitive contemporary issues These tools have been used successfully in schools, residential programmes, after-school and recreational programmes, youth detention facilities and colleges and universities. Any adult determined to help young people become active, critically thinking community members will find a strong ally in this empowering resource.

This fully revised edition is a step-by-step program to empower young people to develop into dynamic and effective leaders of their community and of themselves...Written for teachers, youth workers, parents, community educators, and activists, the authors ask questions like, How do we support young people making choices and resolving conflicts using alternatives to violence? And, How do we give them the information they need and access to resources without either overprotecting them or controlling them? ...This book contains a list of exercises and agreements within each section to use in teaching middle- and high school-aged kids. Instructors are encouraged to think of themselves as allies of their students, working alongside them rather than teaching at them...The book provides a thorough manual, filled with hope rather than pessimism, to create an educational model for a better world future. -- Penny Hastings, ForeWord Magazine
