The program includes a brief video presentation. No live or still photographs of the video will be allowed as the program is a pilot, and the video is intended to be viewed by children in its entirety and with a trained teacher.
Media are welcome to cover and film all other aspects of the presentation.
The new curriculum, which incorporates music and video as a platform for sensitizing children to the pain of ridicule and other forms of disrespect, was conceived and developed by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. Stookey lives in Blue Hill Falls, Maine. We're looking to teachers to help tell us how we can better incorporate the program into their work. The project has received the endorsement or support of major educational groups and organizations concerned with children and violence. The curriculum will be piloted in selected schools this fall, evaluated and then made available free of charge to interested schools nationwide.
