| Summary: | Stefanie Lawrence uses a personal approach to investigate topics of conflict and peace in her combined Year 3/4 primary school class. With parental approval, she has introduced an innovative, personal growth program in which the students' experiences are often the basis for exploring global concerns. She strongly believes that if we are taught the skills to resolve conflict when we are young, we will have a better chance of living in a peaceful society as adults. The students are encouraged to explore their feelings about a personal conflict and to discover what makes them feel inner peace. Using various individual and group strategies they look for solutions to personal and global conflicts. Representatives from outside organisations, such as Amnesty International's parliamentarian spokesman Bob Brown, contribute to these discussions by giving informed feedback to their ideas. This practice is also designed to reinforce the connection between the global and the personal. A co-production between NHK Japan, KBS Korea, TVO La Chaine Canada, WTTW Chicago,YLE Finland, Channel 2 Polish Television and Film Australia.
