Rhodes, Greece – hosted by femme-art-méditerranée (fam network) at the university of the aegean in association with the peace education center, teachers college columbia university. The 2005 International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE) will be hosted by the FAM Network (Femme-Art-Méditerranée, Women Artists of the Mediterranean) and the University of the Aegean, in Rhodes, Greece, and organized in association with the Peace Education Center of Teachers College, Columbia University. IIPE, founded in 1982 by the Peace Education Program of Teachers College, has been held annually in different parts of the world. It is a multicultural and cooperative learning opportunity in which participants learn from each other about substantive peace issues and interactive teaching approaches. The Institute is also an opportunity for networking and community building among those who educate and work for a culture of peace in the Mediterranean region and internationally. The program will consist of plenaries, workshops, reflection groups, and visits to community projects. IIPE 2005 will focus on education as a movement for constructive social change. Arts methodologies and production processes will be used to examine nonviolent strategies to overcome the global web of violence and warfare. Participants are invited to grapple with urgent global concerns such as ethnic conflict, social disruption and displacement, ecological damage, censorship and repression, human rights abuses and breaches of international law. These will be explored through the lens of innovative arts approaches. As in previous IIPE’s, this Institute will draw on the experiences and insights of diverse peace educators from all world regions helping us learn from each other's experiences and strategies. Cultural diplomacy, peace music, political and legislative theater, ecological art, documentary film as an educational tool, peace movement uses of new media technologies, and arts therapies for post-conflict trauma are some of the arts-action strategies for social transformation that will comprise the program.

FIXING CAPITALI$M: The movie - Are you concerned about the current direction of capitalism? Do you believe that Business has the power or responsibility to make the world better? Fixing Capitalism is a documentary film, currently in development, about the movement to evolve the economy so that it bridges the gap between profit and sustainability - making the world a cleaner, healthier and safer place. The film proposes that in the next few years, as the environmental crisis hits full force, the cost of doing business will rise for everyone, except those who take the initiative and adapt their business to the NEW ECONOMY. The Film will be a production of The Fixing Capitalism Foundation and will be followed by a sequel formed in an open-source medium over the Internet. The Foundation will be based in Victoria, BC.

Book review of Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond, reviewed by Malcom Gladwell and published on December 29, 2004 by New Yorker magazine. http://www.energybulletin.net/newswire.php?id=3782 The lesson of “Collapse” is that societies, as often as not, aren’t murdered. They commit suicide: they slit their wrists and then, in the course of many decades, stand by passively and watch themselves bleed to death.
This website: http://www.pbs.org/weta/dictator/otpor/ownwords/sharp.html "Bringing down a Dictator" goes back to Gene Sharp with an interview "On the strategies and techniques of successful nonviolent opposition movements." Although Sharp's book, The Politics of Nonviolent Action, was published some years ago and familiar to many in the peace business, it is timely. It is the foundation from which Serbian students and Otpor built its machinations to overthrow Milosevic---then The Ukraine, now Lebanon. The (PBS) site includes: Otpor's Origins, Nonviolent Power (from A Force More Powerful: A Century of Nonviolent Conflict, Peter Ackerman and Jack DuVall). Review provided by Janet Hudgins.
"Resolving Conflict Creatively" video series is currently being used by over 800 schools and community groups worldwide. Video Librarian Magazine gave it three stars and said the following: "This series does an excellent job of demonstrating the effectiveness of negotiation and mediation in resolving conflict. . . The first two volumes would be very beneficial in an interpersonal communications curriculum for high school, college students, or out of school adult learners, while the final two-parter would probably be most helpful for those whose responsibilities lie in government, law enforcement and the juvenile justice system." These titles are also sold separately:

Proposals/Solutions http://www.peace.ca/proposal.htm :
A Canadian non-governmental working group is putting together its efforts towards asking the federal government to establish a Federal Department of Peace. In view of number of studies being done on development and security funding envelopes at federal level and similar initiatives being explored in the USA, Germany, UK etc., time is ripe for a serious consideration of this proposal to be a focal point for peacebuilding in the government. For details on the proposed initiative, see below. The website address is: http://www.departmentofpeacecanada.com
Social intelligence new gauge of abilities, by Harvey Schachter (Friday, February 4, 2005 Globe and Mail, page C-1). “Emotional intelligence – essentially, the ability to recognize yours and others’ emotions – has become an increasingly popular measure for assessing workplace abilities. Now management consultant Karl Albrecht says it’s time to pay attention to another measure: social intelligence – your ability to deal with people. ‘Social intelligence can reduce conflict, create collaboration, replace bigotry and polarization with understanding, and mobilize people toward common goals. Indeed, it may be the most important ingredient in our survival as a species,’ he writes in Training magazine. The five key dimensions:
Situational radar: The ability to read situations, understand the social context that influences behaviour, and choose behavioural strategies most likely to succeed.
Presence: Also known as bearing, it’s the external sense of self others perceive. That includes confidence, self-respect and self-worth.
Authenticity: The opposite of being phony, it’s the sense that people are honest with themselves and others.
Clarity: The ability to express oneself clearly, use language effectively, explain concepts clearly, and persuade others with ideas.
Empathy: Beyond the usual appreciation for the experiences of others, empathy is the ability to create a sense of connectedness with others, to get them on your wavelength and invite them to move with and toward you, rather than away from and against you.
He notes that fans of emotional intelligence have long attempted to include interpersonal skills within its conceptual envelope on the premise that an individual’s interior experience forms the basis for his or her interaction. But he argues that’s only partly true and social intelligence should be a separate dimension of competence.”
Inspiring Quotes http://www.peace.ca/inspiringquotations.htm :
“My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.” - Charles F. Kettering
“Now is the only time. How we relate to it creates the future.” Pema Chodron
E.F.Schumacher’s book Small is Beautiful, was a great influence on many people’s thinking in England. Everything was giant, big is better, getting bigger and bigger. Leopold Kohr and E.F.Schumacher were the two great figures of the 60s and 70s who promoted the idea of human scale, of decentralized, local economies. Schumacher particularly combined the view of economic spiritual values when he wrote his essay called: " Buddhist Economics." Many people asked him, Mr. Schumacher, what does Buddhism have to do with economics? Schumacher jokingly said that economics without Buddhism is like sex without love. He was perhaps one of the only western economists with the background of Oxford and work with the government and establishment who dared to put those words together - Buddhism and economics.
“I believe very much in building forces. I would say that that is my theme. The art of politics is: to create forces to be able do in the future what we cannot do now. It has been said that an opportunist is someone who states that (s/he) does not have power and adapts. The revolutionary is the one who knows that (s/he) does not have power, but looks for ways to create the necessary conditions for it. Inventing, searching how to change the correlation of power. Those are two very distinct positions: one is conformist, opportunistic, the other, for me, is revolutionary, one that works to build the forces that will allow them to reach the objectives. Those who believe are more left because they launch more leftist speeches have been misled. I go even further: those who want to be radical should work to build the social and political forces that will allow them to be. We struggle creating. That is why I like the idea of distinguishing between the destructive left and the constructive one.” Marta Harnecker, political scientist born in Chile
The Alternate Media:
Dangerous Government Secrecy Oaths – (San Diego Union Tribune – December 2, 2004)
http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20041202/news_lz4e2schwell.html
America now has an Unofficial Secrets Act. In an expansion of government secrecy, the Department of Homeland Security has begun swearing its employees to silence, criminalizing the disclosure of information to the public – even if it is not classified. What's an example of information that the public can't know? The law. Last month, while at the Boise, Idaho, airport, former Congresswoman Helen Chenoweth-Hage, R-Idaho, was pulled aside for a security pat-down. Hage asked what regulation authorized the screening. Local security director Julian Gonzalez said the regulation "is called 'sensitive security information.' She's not allowed to see it, nor is anyone else."

U.S. Has Zero Credibility Among Muslims – (Inter Press Service – November 19, 2004)
http://www.ipsnews.net/interna.asp?idnews=26453
A high-level Pentagon panel has concluded that Bush administration policies in the Middle East, its fundamental failure to understand the Muslim world and a lack of imagination in using new communications technologies have failed to enlist the support of an increasingly hostile Islamic world.
The global warming danger threshold for the world is clearly marked for the first time in an international report. The bad news is, the world has nearly reached it already. The report, “Meeting The Climate Challenge” breaks new ground by putting a figure - for the first time in such a high-level document - on the danger point of global warming, that is, the temperature rise beyond which the world would be irretrievably committed to disastrous changes. http://www.rense.com/general62/count.htm
Global Warming: Scientists Reveal Timetable – (Independent – February 3, 2005) http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0203-04.htm
A detailed timetable of the destruction and distress that global warming is likely to cause the world has been unveiled. It pulls together for the first time the projected impacts on ecosystems and wildlife, food production, water resources and economies across the earth, for given rises in global temperature expected during the next hundred years. The resultant picture gives the most wide-ranging impression yet of the bewildering array of destructive effects that climate change is expected to exert on different regions, from the mountains of Europe and the rainforests of the Amazon to the coral reefs of the tropics.
Using Earth’s Atmosphere for Military Purpose – (India Daily – January 26, 2005) http://www.indiadaily.com/editorial/01-24c-05.asp
Currently, there are dozens of nations operating more than 100 weather modification projects, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions all over the world, where the lack of sufficient water resources limits their ability to meet food, fibre, and energy demands. In addition there are unclassified military projects in America, Russia, China, Japan, Europe and India that plan to use weather and climate to defeat the enemy. One of these is the US HAARP project designed to "understand, simulate and control ionospheric processes that might alter the performance of communication and surveillance systems." The HAARP system intends to beam 3.6 Gigawatts of effective radiated power of high frequency radio energy into the ionosphere.
List Servers http://www.peace.ca/usergroup.htm :
A Canadian Culture of Peace Program resource raising email listserver has been set up to facilitate the raising of financial, human and information resources to build a Culture of Peace through peace education. There is an emerging consensus among Canadian peace educators and peacebuilders that the structures and processes which would enhance peace learning of the best possible quality at all levels are not currently available in Canada due to a lack of resources. We would hope to begin to fill that void through the creation of a Canadian Peace Education Foundation For A World Fit For Children ("CPEF"). Our vision is to contribute to the creation of a just and peaceful world by using education, training, information dissemination and research to handle conflicts non-violently and creatively. Our Task will be to help educate and train Canadians, and others, about peace, the creative transformation of conflicts, and skills for living together, to help significantly reduce the human costs of violence at home and abroad. CPEF will raise peacebuilding resources, on a large scale. For a more detailed description of our working vision, refer to the background information online at http://www.peace.ca/foundation.htm or contact stewartr@peace.ca . If anyone would like to participate in the Initiative, discussion and developments, then from the email account they wish to have on the listserve, send an empty letter to CCOPPresourceraising-subscribe@yahoogroups.com . Once sent, then Yahoo will send a welcome letter, and ask that you confirm that you wish to join the listserve. The confirmation is simply to hit the reply button and send the welcome letter right back to Yahoo. If you change your mind and decide not to join after all, then simply do not reply, or you can send an empty letter to CCOPPresourceraising-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com . For more information, visit the webpage at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CCOPPresourceraising . If you have any problems, contact the list moderator Bob Stewart at stewartr@peace.ca . You can also read past correspondence on the CCOPPresourceraising web site, once registered.
