Using a Common Thread Project to Teach About Peacebuilding

Jennifer Haydel from Montgomery College explores the innovative "Common Thread Project" aimed at teaching peacebuilding through storytelling. Drawing on literary inspirations, such as Vaddey Ratner’s reflections on transcending boundaries and resilience, this project integrates a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing comparative politics, women’s studies, and international relations. By creating a learning environment that encourages collaboration and creativity, the project helps students develop a stronger self and engage meaningfully in peacebuilding efforts. Join us in cultivating understanding and empathy through education.
