JOURNEY INTO PEACE:
A BULLYING PREVENTION PROGRAM
THROUGH VISUAL ARTS
Grade 5 - Grade 8
Journey Into Peace is an empathy development/social responsibility program. Through the experience of viewing fine art and making art expressions, students are given the opportunity to explore and process key bullying prevention concepts. Expressive arts are a widely accessible means of language and culture neutral communication and learning for students, and are therefore recommended as an effective and highly equitable approach for learning.

In JOURNEY INTO PEACE, visual art becomes a bridge:
- to discovering self-reliance, tolerance towards differences, and
insight into the powerful emotions which connect us all; and
- to exploring and experiencing the attitudes, resources and tools
by which peace may be created within ourselves and in our community.
Lesson 1: Self-Reliance: Responding To Challenge
