Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium explores 21st century resilience education within programs aspiring to foster resiliency for individuals and communities experiencing inhibitors to personal and societal peace. Authors differentiation between early notions of resilience (i.e., recovering from adversity), and support resilience as successful transitions and adaptations. Panelist one explores liberation methodologies with Zimbabwean immigrant women. Panelist two investigates complex healing processes with veterans wishing to return to higher education. Panelist three roleplays conflict dichotomies in kindergarten classrooms as a meditation technique to strengthen cultural pluralism and coexistence. Panelist four explores the manifestation of bullying behaviors compared to socioeconomic differences. Panelist five examines peace education assessment and evaluation, specifically with child soldiers, war veterans, and survivors of domestic violence.
