Some of the good folks at KaBOOM! are looking for programs or curricula to train kids to be playground peacekeepers, in light of stories like this one:

Conflict Management Taught

Students at 16 Regina public elementary schools are learning how to become playground peacekeepers.

Grades 4 to 8 students from around the city have volunteered to participate in a playground conflict managers program, which trains students about how to deal with conflict in their schools and turns them into leaders on the playground.

"The kids usually go through about a 3 1/2 hour training session and they learn basic skills, communication skills, active listening skills, how to address people, how to address people to empower them as opposed to speak down to them, how they can help with other kids on the playground and then most importantly the conflict management process," said Brennan Hack, a Grade 5 and 6 teacher at Wascana School...

If you know of or have access to such a program, please post it in this thread in the Forums.
