Introducing The NAFCM Clearinghouse

NAFCM is pleased to announce the most exciting resource it's ever produced, one which will change the way our community collaborates and shares information. Introducing: the NAFCM Clearinghouse!

Overview

The NAFCM Clearinghouse is the field’s one-stop-shop for community mediation resources. From archived content to ongoing projects, this resource compendium is a home for the field’s digital and intellectual assets. Through the collaborative engagement of NAFCM program members, the Clearinghouse serves as an aggregated, searchable hard drive containing all the best of what was once scattered across centers and software. It’s a place to source and share materials that chronicle our accomplishments and propel our progress in ways which are faster and more connected than ever before.

Conflict Resolution Education Activity Calendar

Our colleagues over at the Association for Conflict Resolution's Education Section (and friends) have pulled together another exceptional calendar for school and youth program administrators. The Conflict Resolution Education (CRE) Activity Calendar, now in its 3rd edition, is a month-by-month trove of resources and activity ideas bringing CRE to life in engaging and instructional ways for youth of all ages.

From the Calendar:

Any change we wish to see in our world will have to be lived-out in our classrooms, schools and families. This calendar is offered in appreciation and recognition of the important work done every day by educators and youth leaders who plant seeds of knowledge and skills essential to a civil society and a peaceful, just world. Designed as a supplement to any curriculum or professional development program, the calendar is chockfull of ideas, activities, web resources, featured dates, inspirational quotes, poetry and powerful images -- all chosen to make the integration of conflict resolution education easy; all chosen to make conflict resolution everyone’s healthy habit.

To adorn your own walls and enhance your classrooms' conflict competence, order a physical copy of the calendar today. You can really share the love by placing a bulk order (30+) for an entire school or district!

Many thanks to the ACR Education Section and Conflict Resolution Day Committee, CREducation.org, and the JAMS Foundation for making this wonderful resource so accessible to teachers, youth program administrators, and the youngsters they serve.

In community,

Justin R. Corbett
