2nd International Day of Peace at OCU 2012 meeting

Mikel, Daniel, Carmen, Joan, and Sidney attended.

Mrs. Bruce brought the Pinwheels for Peace to Casady School

-OCU will be the venue.  The next meeting, 7/26/2012, 2:00-4:00 OCU Library, second floor

-The name will be International Day of Peace Multicultural Festival.  6:00-8:00 p.m. September 21, 2012.

-Sidney pinpointed the need to make the pinwheels more relevant with connections to WE THE WORLD: 11 days of Unity: September 11-September 21.  ttp://www.wetheworld.org/home.htm PEACE ONE DAY- Truce on Global Violence: http://peaceoneday.org/. and -this might also be welcomed by OCU students and professors at the school of world religions-the Charter of Compassion-.  Dan May, Director of Service-Learning will be approached for helpers http://charterforcompassion.org/

Another important aspect is a collaboration with the 9/11 Museum and the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum Hope Trunk and Called 2 Change http://www.oklahomacitynationalmemorial.org/secondary.php?section=6&catid=192 Initiatives


-There will be pinwheels and peace crane workshops with peace films at OCU.  Mikel, Carmen and Sidney will create lesson plans for the Pinwheels-Peace ONE day workshops. Carmen will request English and History Casady teachers input for the high school lesson.  An example to follow for development of lesson(s) is the Hope Trunk curriculum.  The OKC International Day of Peace lessons will be distributed to schools from July-August via listserv.  Carmen will also write proposals to present at the VISION social studies conference as well as the OFLTA conference.

The Japan America Society http://jasok.org/ Education Coordinator Gigi Hu will provide the same type of workshops as she did last year.   A live string quartet might be playing as cranes and pinwheels are being made. The workshops- films will take place at OCU rooms closed to the Great Hall. The Great Hall will host the multicultural festival only.   For in-between performances, we will have Peace one day videos ready as time busters.

- We asked Sidney to take request to Youth LEAD http://youthleadonline.org/ OKC teen panel to see if they would like to collaborate with this event.  Sidney will also approach the Casady YAC http://www.casady.org/podium/default.aspx?t=29893&rc=0 Teens.  Alex and Eliza might be interested.  Eliza is considering Peace studies as a possible concentration in college.

-OCU cafeteria will be asked to provide discounted prices for International Day of Peace participants to get people to come to eat dinner and enjoy the festival.  We will still have water donated.  500 bottles will be requested from Sonic.

-There will be a new peace flash mob.  Organizers loved last year's, but realized the need for another one to catch the younger demographic attention!  Kelly and Steve will work on that with collaboration from Mrs. Mueller, our choreographer last year.

-Mikel's husband will design a t-shirt for the committee and volunteers.  If Youth LEAD OKC and Casady YAC come on board, Sidney might consider writing a grant solicitation to get Six Billion Paths to Peace http://www.sef.org/projects/six-billion-paths-to-peace/- if not t-shirts, pins and/or reflection cards -for all participants. Carmen will extend an invitation to the foundation for them to consider being partner of this event in whatever capacity they may welcome.

Carmen through Casady Service Learning and in "possible" collaboration with the UD art club is considering bringing the Peace Pals exhibit and promoting creation of art based global peace prayer "May Peace Prevail on Earth http://wppspeacepals.org/ on site.

Casady Service-Learning will continue to raise awareness of ENO Environments online, http://www.joensuu.fi/eno/basics/briefly.htm; http://www.enoprogramme.org/ in collaboration with the Survivor seedling tree program from the Oklahoma National Memorial and Museum. 100 million trees planted by 2017!

Dear Planning Group, Jennifer Long, our liaison from OCU, has already asked for our equipment and room needs so here is the list that I have requested thus far:
1) The Great Hall from 9 am- 9 pm
2) The room adjacent to the Great Hall for changing/ gathering/ etc.
3) Use of the Quad for a pinwheel installation and labyrinth installation for the duration of the day
4) 8 tables for the Great Hall during the origami/ anime event
5) Sponsor tables in the lounge like we had last year +a table for performers to sign in 6) University AV People to help during the event and workers capable of setting up mics, running cord, and moving furniture between 3-5
7) I also asked if they had a PA system we could use vs. Steve having to bring his own equipment (I will need exact specs from Steve) Jennifer likes the idea of us settling our needs and meeting without her and then she and I getting together to discuss. Closer to the event she will meet with all of us to make sure that we have everything we need. Dr. Meinhart has been cut to part time, but she thinks he will still be able to attend our meetings and assist as well. For Now, I need your feedback on what she can suggest to her faculty for activities for Peace Day and for ways they can connect their departments with what we are planning for 9/21 before they let out for the summer. She says the men's and women's groups will still make pinwheels, but she is not sure how we can guarantee more student interaction. She asked that we not gauge the success of our event on whether or not the OCU students participated, but to allow this tradition to grow as we are teaching them about Peace Day and they see what is going on annually. I know our enthusiasm is contagious. Please reply so I can check my new "pinwheel planning group" list. If you would like me to change your email or if I have left out anyone, please inform. Thank you everyone! I think we are already miles ahead of last year!

Carmen Suggestions: Taiko drumming from Ou,osu, uco, connecting to international student association, service programs at different universities, youth groups, oflta. Boys and girls clubs, YMCA metro tech academy, green schools. I will do that.

Having a skype with ocu interested students with Jeremy gilley the week of September 11 to promote 11 days of unity on campus. Check out we the world. I would like to have a table where kids could watch the charter of compassion and write haikus do individual art or collaborate on a mural which could be part of rdf" exhibit
