The goal is to figure out how to encourage that kind of perspective. It has been a question in American peacework from the beginning and we've tried a lot of things (Pen Pals!). Frankly, as a child of the 70s, I see the high point of pro-humanity work as Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers.

When I was young in the 80s farmers in North of England close to Scotland employed workers on peacework. No work no pay and the pay was very poor. (Same with the forestry work)

Two introductory sessions in which we didn't much, but two more courses kick off on Monday and we get to talk about one of the weirder texts in American peacework, too (Benjamin Rush's plan for a peace office - still not sure if it is sincere, although it had real-world effects.) #teachingthisweek
