    The two-day workshop agenda focused on humanizing how teachers approach discussing violent conflicts, both in the past and present. The agenda included sessions on international research on textbook narratives of war, constructing enemies and allies in literature, bringing personal stories of those who experienced war into the classroom, using poetry to explore the human dimensions of war, and having high school teacher teams collaborate on initial ideas for teaching units that break down curriculum boundaries. The goal was to provide teachers with resources and strategies for representing war and peace in a way that promotes peace building and understanding among students.
