Workable Peace Role Plays Now Available for Purchase

The best way to acquire and learn to use the Workable Peace curriculum is to organize or attend a Workable Peace Teacher Training Institute.  However, many educators living far from our Teacher Training Institutes have requested that we make our curriculum materials more widely available.

To respond to this, Workable Peace has recently decided to sell it's curriculum materials.  We also added extensive teaching notes - including sample lectures - to help educators gain sufficient knowledge of negotiation concepts and skills to both model and teach these materials successfully to their students. In addition, to ensure access to advice and support for effective classroom use, the price of materials includes a 30-minute phone consultation with Workable Peace Project staff.

• Athens-Melos Introductory Role Play (4 roles)
• Westward Expansion Introductory Role Play (4 roles) - coming soon!
