They represent a reasonable stretch toward a peaceful lifestyle. Then, at the end of a period of four months or so, the pact is reviewed and another is made, representing a further stretch. Organizations can follow a similar process. These skills give people increased time and energy to fashion more peaceful lifestyles. Of course the volunteers themselves undergo an intensive skills training, in order to teach and support others.
Ongoing change requires ongoing support.
So the people who are living out peace pacts need some ongoing support to make steady progress. By correspondence or by meeting one to one, the volunteers help people develop the ongoing motivation and support systems they need through their immediate families, their churches or schools, or through other already existing support groups. This weekly small-group format is designed to help people reach goals and nurture their growth. In order to address the world's emerging crises, World Peace One has a growth plan. We are asking our volunteers to consider supporting the people who make peace pacts for three years.
