Peace in sight: October 2009

http://insightpeaceproject.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 23, 2009. Dust Your Average Day. Don’t you just love that red African soil? I know I do. I love it thinly coating my entire body, gathering greater density in the crevice between my nose and sunglasses, clinging to my Burts Beeswax-covered lips. But how do you achieve this ‘look? While we haven’t yet had a chance to read through the hundreds of surveys (combined with those from Police Primary, we have about 450), we hope that the children’s responses will help us to understand...But what ...

Peace in sight: March 2010

http://insightpeaceproject.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Proving Peace Education Works. Development work is often volatile- we pour our hearts and souls into a program, and hope that our efforts will result in sustained impact. But even the most effective organization, complete with dedicated staff and deep community integration can find itself without sufficient funding and thereby paralyzed o continue their work. What could we do, what do we want to do, and what would make for a quality continuation? It’s both relieving and r...

Peace in sight: Peace Education continues in northern Uganda...

http://insightpeaceproject.blogspot.com/2011/06/peace-education-continues-in-northern.html

Thursday, June 30, 2011. Peace Education continues in northern Uganda. We are well into the second term of Peace Education at Police Primary School and it’s going great. Before the term started we experienced a challenging time; as it was questionable whether or not the IPEP team would be returning to both Police and Paicho Primary Schools. However, we received the go ahead and the Insight Peace Education Project is reaching the students in Gulu District that need it most. View my complete profile. Coali...

Peace in sight: September 2011

http://insightpeaceproject.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Monday, September 5, 2011. Future of Uganda’s Educational System. With a 21.4% inflation rate in the last year, Uganda’s educational system has been forced to alter their fees accordingly. What does this mean for the students attending these schools? In the last 20 years, education has reached more Ugandans than ever before, but with the additional increase in living expenses and educational fees, what does this mean for students now? Will more children be held back to help their family at home? Future o...

Monday, May 9, 2011. Thank you for another great year! It is our hope that in the next year, IPEP will continue to train more teachers and teach even more primary-aged children in peace throughout Gulu.

Peace in sight: March 2011

http://insightpeaceproject.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 22, 2011. If you were asked to describe yourself as you see yourself, as others see you, and as you truly are, would you know what to say? This is why the Insight Peace Education Project has taken the unique approach to providing students with the opportunity to raise these questions. ‘Who are you in your own thinking? What does it mean? Tuesday, March 8, 2011. On the outside looking in. My name is Gwen. That makes you ask: What is peace and what makes a country peaceful? Bec Hamilton - Pr...

Peace in sight: Child Soldiers as adults...

http://insightpeaceproject.blogspot.com/2011/07/child-soldiers-as-adults.html

Saturday, July 23, 2011. Child Soldiers as adults. Last week, the first Ugandan war crimes trial opened in northern Uganda. Thomas Kwoyelo has been charged with 53 counts of willful killing, hostage-taking, destruction of property and causing injury. Thomas, now 39, has denied all charges. This trial has me thinking a lot about the use of child soldiers and the implications of a child growing up within an army environment. It has been reported that Thomas joined. Did he have a chance to be a teenager?

Peace in sight: November 2009

http://insightpeaceproject.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 26, 2009. The past few/couple/I’m not even sure how many weeks have truly been an exhausting whirlwind. Holly and I were preparing to formally present our project to our core local advisory group at what became officially known as our 3-day Modules and Content Development Committee (MCDC) Workshop. Relatively new to the world of workshop facilitation, Holly and I were anxious - would the MCDC find our materials appropriate for the Northern Ugandan context? Would we fall on our faces?
