WHAT IS PEACE PRAXIS?
Praxis is a Greek word meaning the “practice of an art, science or skill.” The prevention of violence is indeed an art, science and skill that can be learned and put into practice by children and adults, students and teachers alike.
Peace Praxis does not soley focus on eliminating violence. Instead, Peace Praxis focuses on building communities that:
- value nonviolence, inclusion, and collaboration
- meet the basic needs of all individuals
- ensure the basic rights of all individuals
- foster positive social supports that promote the healthy development of every child
- implement accountability systems that promote integrity and fair responsibility
Peace Praxis results in safe, equitable, affirming, and high performing schools and communities.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PEACE PRAXIS?
Peace Praxis is an umbrella term that can be used to describe many different types of violence prevention and skill-building programs for students, schools and communities.
