CREATING CALM IN THE EYE OF THE STORM
CREATING CALM
IN THE EYE OF THE STORM
an arts and conflict transformation program
for young people in grades four thru eight

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4pm to 6pm
December 5, 2006 thru January 11, 2007

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 3617 N. 48th Street

How do we help young people understand the world around them when there seems to be so much conflict and chaos? Everyday there are stories about people of all ages and backgrounds reacting out of anger or other emotions, making destructive choices, impacting the lives of many. CREATING CALM IN THE EYE OF THE STORM invites youth to explore their conflicts and challenges as they are given tools to deal with emotions such as anger, frustration and envy and address other tensions in their lives. Young people will also be engaged in creating art projects that explore a quest for peace in their lives and the world. CREATING CALM IN THE EYE OF THE STORM teaches participants to use different art forms to express themselves, instead of harmful language and violent behavior. There is no cost to participate in this program. There will not be classes the week of December 24. Snacks will be provided. To register, use the form below and bring it with you to the first class you attend. For more information contact Barb or Venice at (414) 445-7447.

Think About It! Write About It!
Creating Calm In The Eye of The Storm helps young people to think, to act responsibly, and to express themselves is safe, healthy ways. Here are some things for you to think about and write about:

1. How have other people shown respect for you?
2. Describe something you believe in so strongly that you would go against popular feelings to support your view.
3. What are the benefits of being patient? Can you ever be too patient?
4. Having friends and keeping friends takes work. Write a how-to article on staying friends.

6. Have you ever been angry at someone for a long time? If so, how did this make you feel? Do people choose to be angry at others?
