Brainstorming what we do and what is to be done
Notes from brainstorming meetings in December 2008 (Central Lane County, Oregon Beyond War team). A total of 18 people attended brainstorming sessions this week.
Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

The Peace Center at the Center for Spiritual Living in Eugene has undertaken a project to teach emotional literacy training in all of the schools of Nepal, a country approximately the size of California in population. The purpose of this project is to create a culture that will not only allow individuals to lead a more effective and rewarding life but will ultimately create world peace. Their plan is to expand this project to all countries through the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) which is involved in the Nepal project. The project is being carried out in Nepal by SEWA-Nepal (see www.SEWA.Nepal.org)
SEWA-Nepal is now in the process of introducing the LWA program in all schools in Nepal after completing pilot projects for the last year in six different schools. So that everyone will be able to learn from this training, SEWA will work closely with Lumbini Buddhist University, UNESCO, the Ministry of Education and other Government agencies, and also private school associations to carry out its mission. SEWA plans to expand its programs so that Emotional Literacy training will be available and can be utilized by every individual in Nepal.
SEWA programs create emotional literacy by teaching individuals how their mind functions so that they are able to develop new ways of recognizing problems; and how to make different and more effective choices when they face the day to day problems that make their life more difficult. Our society evolves and life improves for individuals as they learn new skills. Emotional literacy helps us to advance personally and as a society just as the ability to read and do mathematics does. Nepal will be the first country in the world to introduce this training on a national level.
The Peace Center has undertaken this great task with the trust and hope that many in our community will be able to share in the vision of this great work and join us in this amazing project. We will be promoting a “Sponsor a School” program to raise awareness and support throughout the United States. This project will take the energy and skills of many people. If you care about other peoples and/or world peace and have skills and/or energy to offer please join us in this amazing project.
