The United Nations has declared 2000 to be the International Year for the Culture of Peace.
Many schools plan and teach special units of study related to the theme for each named year.
When this happens, the school librarian is often asked to locate and acquire reources for these curriculum units. They have been selected because of their potential usefulness in curriculum units in schools. The emphasis is international, though resources from particular countries are included. Resources include a One Day in Peace picture book in 19 languages. A workshop kit produced by the Canadian Voice of Women for Peace.
