Description of the tool
The Theme Packet is the main guide to our Educational Theme. In the first section, it will
help you explore the meaning of experiential learning and a model called “attitudes, skills
and knowledge“ (ASK), both of which we will use throughout the Theme. These models help
explain what we are trying to work towards with this Theme. It is important to know these
educational models as they are primary tools for acting on and engaging with the theme.
The concepts of Identity and Peace Education are both so broad and so dense that it would
be hard to know exactly where to start with it. Because of this, the Theme Playground
section will present five areas introducing different types of identity. You can construct
activities based on these particular areas, or if you want, you can mix and match, or you can
just start with the ASK of the whole Theme. The playground will also provide you with a
brainstorm of creative methods on how to address the Theme in a variety of settings,
including workshops, on-line activities and discussions.
