aMAZE Journey: Let Peace Begin With You

Our seventh aMAZE journey meeting was about "Surfing Through Cyber-Relationships" and the section called "Let Peace Begin With You." We covered pages 96-119 in the girl book, read and did activities about netiquette, cyber-bullying, safety in cyberspace, choosing communication tools, live vs. virtual, and the internet safety pledge. We also read and talked about how relationship skills impact the world, leadership, and moving toward peace. Today we started thinking about the take action project and brainstorming possible project ideas, which we will continue in the next journey meeting.
