On February 21, teachers will reconvene to share ideas about their peace-themed lesson plans and student projects addressing topics on peace, equity, justice, and non-violence. Participating teachers will be granted free student field trips to tour the Museum and utilize its many educational resources. On April 29, 2023, the Peace Pathways cohort will reconvene to discuss outcomes and celebrate the completion of the course.
