HEY! Welcome to the brand spankin' new Dance 4 Peace blog. We are SO beyond excited to be able to share with the world the ins and outs of D4P.
Here's a little about us:
Dance 4 Peace is a global peace education nonprofit that prevents violence and bullying and transforms conflict in schools and communities through dance and creative movement. Our innovative curriculum promotes empathy, mediation skills, anger management, and conflict transformation to instill social and emotional competencies for peace. Through school and community center partnerships, Dance 4 Peace connects communities in the United States in Baltimore, Newark, New York City and Washington DC and internationally in Colombia, Germany, and the Philippines to share intercultural stories of peace. Our vision is to ignite global social change through the art of movement, and as such both our curriculum and evaluation system are completely movement-based. To date, Dance 4 Peace has worked with over 5,500 youth in fifteen cities on four continents.
