Imagine: NextGen Voices Reflect on Peace is a multimedia, open-source curriculum designed to cultivate an understanding of the complexities of peace. It focuses on youth-centered narratives from post-conflict environments, transitional justice, and peace initiatives.

The curriculum fosters global literacy and enhances media literacy, enabling participants to gain deeper insights into how the aftermath of war and ongoing conflicts affects young people. It encourages students to explore the meaning of “peace” and supports teachers in integrating the concept of peace into their classrooms. 

Workshop Highlights include:

  • Participants will learn about the history of the project and the partnership between Generation Human Rights and The VII Foundation.
  • Participants will engage in creative hands-on activities, incorporating the five senses and word cloud poetry.
  • Participants will form groups in breakout rooms to review the curriculum content and accompanying multimedia resources, followed by discussions guided by provided prompts. 
  • Participants will apply their knowledge and understanding of the human rights themes related to the aftermath of war and current conflict as they process and discuss the lessons with the prompts provided.

The initial questions shared with participants are the overarching Essential Questions of the curriculum: 

  1. How do we build a better peace after war? 
  2. What does peace mean to you?
