Course Overview
The Peace Education Program offers four courses, each providing material on the same ten themes: Peace, Appreciation, Inner Strength, Self-Awareness, Clarity, Understanding, Dignity, Choice, Hope, and Contentment.
The course materials are drawn from Prem Rawat’s many international addresses, as well as from media interviews and interactions with a diverse range of people, and animated stories. Accompanying print material for each course includes one-page articles for each theme, participant workbooks, and a facilitator guide. In addition to the video material, each class provides an opportunity for participants’ oral expressions, written reflections, and/or interactive activities.
The varying length and presentation formats in the four Peace Education Program courses provide variety and flexibility for each audience. Rather than being sequential, they allow licensees and facilitators several options in determining the best choice for a particular group of participants.
Below are descriptions of each of the four courses as well as a sample participant workbook and a sample video for your review.
“The Peace Education Program is not complicated. It’s successful because of its simplicity.”
