Program details and availability

It is our mission, through a multi-sensory and multi-pronged approach, to present and inspire a peaceful alternative to the culture of violence so prevalent in our society.A wide variety of class trips are offered, including workshops, lectures and film series and forums for public dialogue, working in and with area schools and other interested partnering institutions, as well as here at the Museum itself.
In addition to classes, workshops, lectures and film series offered at the Museum itself, they will deliver educational programs through:
* On-site workshops in schools, workplaces and other organizations
* Addresses to school assemblies and social sciences classrooms
* Summer camps and Parks programs
* Sunday school classes
