PERSONAL PEACE PRINCIPLES

What is your personal peace mission statement?

This is an important activity for teens and adults. Start by discussing the Personal Peace Principles sheet. Go through each point, one at a time. Do the principles reflect how you currently handle conflict? Do they reflect how you would LIKE to handle conflict in the future? Which principles are the easiest for you? The hardest? Why?

Now, using the Personal Peace Principles sheet for inspiration, write yourself a one-paragraph personal peace mission statement. How would you like to approach conflict in your life? What kind of family and community environment do you want to help create?

Decorate your mission statement and post it in your bedroom.
