Are We Together? Peace Curriculum

We have a dream - that all children in Uganda will learn how to live in peace. We are slowly making our dream come true, one child at a time. We invite educators and peace lovers around the world to join us on this journey, not just in Uganda, but around the world. You can get involved by supporting our program, or teaching our free, proven peace and conflict resolution curriculum, "Are We Together?," in your context.

"Are We Together?" was entrusted to us by its creator, the late global peace educator, Marg Huber. Marg developed the curriculum in Uganda, with war orphans who were members of the African Children's Choir. First, they introduced the curriculum to their own secondary schools. As schools changed for the better, more schools requested the program. Over 7,500 students in 18 schools received the two-year training. The impact was transformative.

CryPeace relaunched the curriculum in Uganda in 2024. We currently have 6 active peace classes reaching about 200 children per week, and one men's group, and schools waiting to be trained when resources allow. The children love it, and the leaders affirm its impact. As we develop evidence of impact, our dream is to accelerate peace education through partners like the Ministry of Education, partner NGOs, schools, churches and mosques. 

It will take the one global family to accomplish this dream, but that is how peacebuilding has always worked. If you are inspired to help, there are many ways to get involved:

• Are you a headmaster or youth leader? Adopt the curriculum in your organization.
• Are you a teacher? Facilitate the curriculum with your students, or mentor global teachers and facilitators in participatory learning methods.
• Are you a peace and conflict studies student? Become a facilitator, or research the impact of the program as your major project.
• Gifted in adminstration? Help us manage and grow the project.
• Believe in peace education? Help us raise funds, or send a one-time or monthly donation to sustain and expand the program.
  • $20 will get the curriculum in the hands of one facilitator.
  • $350 will fund online meetings for a year.
  • $1,000 will fund a one-day traning of trainers workshop.
  • In the Greater Toronto Area or Uganda? Donate a smart phone or tablet for a facilitator in Uganda.
  • Any amount helps. Our 2025 fundraising target is $25,000. 
     

It takes a village to raise a child...in the ways of peace. And it pays life-long dividends.
