The Lions-Quest conflict resolution curricula fulfill these criteria. And, like all Lions-Quest curricula, they stress the importance of schools, parents, and communities in preventing violence. Schools must create a safe haven for learning. Parents must serve as healthy role models for peaceful conflict resolutions. Communities must establish after-school activities for youth, e.g., Leo clubs athletics programs, etc.
Students learn that anger is as normal as love, hate, or fear.
Throughout life, situations arise that elicit these emotions. Managing anger in a nonviolent way is a desired outcome for graduates of the Lions-Quest conflict resolution curricula. Through readings, group discussions, assignments, and role play activities, students learn how to address their anger. Mastering conflict resolution techniques is an ongoing life-skill. Starting in kindergarten, Lions-Quest students begin the process.
