CHILDREN'S MOVEMENT
FOR CREATIVE EDUCATION
Mission Statement
The
Children's Movement for Creative Education is
a non-profit organization that helps children and
teenagers learn to overcome ignorance, hatred and
violence at the personal and group level through
focused academic projects and art-based curricula.
Working in inner-city classrooms, we invent new
approaches to standard educational material that
emphasize cooperative learning and an informed understanding
of world events. In schools in post-war countries
we work with young people to create location-specific,
culturally resonant programs that give them the
opportunity to describe their experiences during
and after a conflict, and through the process begin
to heal. Through international presentations of
artwork and writing produced in these programs,
CMCE helps young people find their voice in the
world and educate the global public about the consequences
of war. All CMCE programs cultivate self-expression,
self-awareness, collaboration, and the mutual respect
needed to build a peaceful future.
