Prairie Land Conflict Mediation Center

Part computer game, part educational classroom tool, COOL SCHOOL: Where Peace Rules!, where children ages 5-7 journey to the fanciful world of Cool School, where everything from erasers to desks to books to basketballs are alive and full of responsibility. Here, in a vibrant and fun setting, children are taught invaluable social, communication and problem solving that promote conflict resolution through negotiation, compromise, cooperation and reconciliation. Children learn specific conflict resolution worlds and phrases that equip them with the tools they need to keep minor disputes from escalating. By teaching children these valuable skills, we hope to move towards a more civil, tolerant and peaceful society where youth violence is curbed and schools are made safer.

About the Game PeaceMaker is inspired by real events in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Be a leader and bring peace to the region before your term in office ends. PeaceMaker is two games in one: play both the role of the Israeli Prime Minister or the Palestinian President. Play the news: how would you react to the events in the Middle East presented using real news footage and images? Depending on what you bring to the table, we have three difficulty levels to choose from including calm, tense and violent.
