Started by the Millennium Group, Speak Your Peace: The Civility Project, is a community resource for building civic engagement in our region. Speak Your Peace provides civil and respectful tools for people presenting their views and discussing community issues in a civil manner. Based on nine tools that are taken from P.M. Forni’s book Choosing Civility, Speak Your Peace provides simple lessons from which everyone benefits. |
Officially launched with a public education campaign in 2003, the project has
been adopted by 9 regional bodies of government and has been implemented in
junior high schools in the Duluth
Public School system. To
date, more than 10,000 educational materials including posters, buttons and wallet cards, have been distributed.
In 2008, the Community Foundations Leadership Team of the Council on
Foundation highlighted Speak Your Peace on their national Web site because of its
relevancy in other communities. View the video below.
