1. Students For Teaching Peace (SFTP) stands for promoting peace and putting peace into the front of people's minds.
   
   
2. SFTP also believes in introducing or reintroducing peace education into schools and communities.
   
   
3. SFTP started out small and has become something much larger than originally thought. Our determination and dedication has proven that anyone can make a difference no matter how big or small.

Here are some ideas for things you can do in your school and community to promote peace and peace education:

• Educate yourself. If you notice an issue in the news look into it more then what the news is telling you, so that you can better educate those around you.
  
  
• Organize a Peace Idol. A peace themed talent show where students can showcase their artwork, song and poems that speak out for peace and against violence.
  
  
• Organize a Peace Dance where student dress up as their favorite key player in the peace process (Martin Luther King Jr., Gaundi, etc.)
  
  
• If you find an issue you are passionate about learn all you can and organize a conference or symposium to educate you school and community about that issue.
  
  
• Use media to your advantage. If you see an issue emerge around your school and community (racial and discriminatory slurs being made, a student being picked on about a certain feature) begin an ad campaign in you school against that issue. Hand out flyers, make posters, etc.
  
  
• Start a "pay it forward"or "random acts of kindness chain" campaign.
