Games, Violence ... and Peace !

Games (especially video games are labeled as violent), but the words “games” and “violence” can work together in interesting ways. See this positive example:
“The Peace Games organization teaches conflict resolution skills that children can apply and believe in. Peace Games pairs college volunteers with elementary and junior high classrooms, where the volunteers teach one hour weekly lessons on conflict resolution. Though many volunteers do not have the firsthand experience with violence that the children do, they work to combat conflict through discussion, games, and projects. “

See more about this program at http://www.peacegames.org/ . The games seem to be live cooperative games, not video games. But still is interesting how through games teach about ‘peacemaking’ skills (communication, cooperation, conflict resolution and engagement).
