II. Sequence of workshops, following the eight keys to peace.

WORKSHOP 1: LEGENDS OF PEACE - the foundations of a new culture

THEME: The creation of modern myths and legends with non-violent role models as a way of challenging the promotion of violence and aggression through the creativity and co-operative effort of young people.

WORKSHOP 2: LEARNING TO LIVE TOGETHER - peace through intercultural understanding

THEME: Opening up to the intercultural dimension: How to promote peace through the understanding and respect of other cultures.

WORKSHOP 3: A TRADITIONAL AFRICAN FOLK-TALE - for democracy and peace education

THEME: Issues such as democracy, the non-violent management of conflicts and mediation are addressed using a symbolic background. The traditional African folk-tale and the symbolic atmosphere provide a backdrop, but the problem raised is a universal one.

WORKSHOP 4: I AM NOT A RACIST BUT... - image and stereotyping about minorities

THEME: Images and stereotyping about different minorities. Prejudices and the limits of tolerance of each person. How we form our opinions about other people and social groups.

WORKSHOP 5: IT'S NOT FAIR - North-South parnership, cooperation and solidarity

THEME: The workshop explores the connections between peace and justice on a world-wide scale: the imbalance of international trade/commerce, the rules of the economic game and the distribution of resources in the world.

WORKSHOP 6: REFUGEES GO HOME! - Seeing life through the eyes of a refugee

THEME: An awareness game confronting the plight of refugees. Through a simulation game, participants can experience the feeling of helplessness, loneliness and alienation that asylum seekers and refugees experience in their lives.

WORKSHOP 7: I'VE GOT RIGHTS TOO! - exploring children's rights

THEME: Taking the "Convention on the Rights of the Child" as a background, this workshop aims to contrast the provisions of the Convention with the sad reality millions of children experience in their daily lives and to find out what action can be taken at individual and collective levels, within and outside Scouting, to improve the situation of less-privileged children.

WORKSHOP 8: SAVE THE EARTH - peace between man and nature

THEME: The protection of our planet is not only a moral imperative but a practical need for survival if future generations are going to enjoy the earth as we do now! It is a task in which everyone can take part and, of course, Scouts should be at the forefront.

WORKSHOP 9: IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY! - managing our conflicts

THEME: Conflicts exist everywhere, in pesonal life as well as in society. If managed well, they can constitute a dynamic force and lead to new, better balanced and moe appropriate reasoning. Learning to understand and manage conflicts better is, however, quite an art.

WORKSHOP 10: VIOLENCE ON THE SCREEN - media education, a relevant response

THEME: Violence on the screen (films, television, etc.) has a strong impact on young people. Based on the results of research carried out by World Scouting, UNESCO and the University of Utrecht (Netherlands), this workshop examines the problem and proposes solutions to improve the situation.

WORKSHOP 11: MINES! - together we can make a mine-free earth

THEME: A simulation game designed to create awareness of the problem of anti-personel mines and to motivate young people to act to combat this scourge.

WORKSHOP 12: RELIGION - men and women of peace

THEME: This workshop is designed to help participants reflect about their personal development, about the role that Scouting principles provide in that respect, and about the place that religion occupies in their lives - all under the central theme of this kit, the Culture of Peace. For the participants, are these ideas a set of scattered, incoherent notions or an integrated whole?

CHALLENGE: MY COMMITMENT TO PEACE

This is designed to be used as the culmination of other workshops, but with adaptation it can be used alone.
