For example, a Peace Education Program run in the UK at London\u2019s Thameside Prison volunteer <em>Tony McLean<\/em> says; &#8220;out of the 140 participants, four didn\u2019t complete the course\u2014less than 3%\u2014so overall, it\u2019s been a huge success&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview Tony went on to say, &#8221; it\u2019s had a wonderful impact. About 140 inmates have participated in all the sessions of the 10-week course. Many inmates have low self-esteem. They come from backgrounds where they have not been respected at all, and a lot of them feel they have never been listened to. Many of them have never really listened to anything either. With the Peace Education Program, they have learned to start listening. It takes less than a minute in any one session for the participants to calm down and pay attention. They are usually more than happy to make comments and many like to express themselves after having studied the materials. Their self-esteem seems to be increasing and many express themselves eloquently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The TPRF website lists a <a href=\"http:\/\/tprf.org\/programs\/peace-education-program\/pep-endorsements\/\">wide range of endorsements<\/a> coming from different parts of the world and people in different situation.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more here:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/tprf.org\/programs\/peace-education-program\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even if we provide a roof over our own and our family&#8217;s heads, and even if we can food sufficient  food on the table, for our lives and for society to function we still need peace.
