Middle School
The Call for Cooperation
This workshop helps youth explore the complexity of working with others to create justice. “Cooperation” is a term often used lightly to describe how people work together to achieve a desired result, but on closer inspection cooperation is often challenging and requires specific skills. This workshop uses the cooperative village of Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, also called Oasis of Peace, as a model of cooperation to introduce youth to this complexity. This workshop also explores using the arts to increase communication skills while discovering what it takes to cooperate.
Take it Home
The next time you or your family work on a community service or justice project, invite a friend or another family to work on it with you. Many hands make light work!
