Lessons in Peace: A Teacher's and Parent's Guide to the 2021 Peace Calendar is a powerful resource to transform the Peace Calendar into an effective tool for teaching children and young adults. The free 26 page downloadable booklet details scores of creative activities and lessons for elementary, middle and secondary school students.

Building on the Calendar's monthly artwork, the guide is packed with links to websites and online videos that work well virtually. Like the 2021 Peace Calendar, Lessons in Peace highlights the climate crisis and offers empowering ways for young people to engage in the critical efforts to confront the crisis. The guide was developed by Mara Sapon-Shevin, long-time peace and social justice advocate and professor of Inclusive Education at Syracuse University.
