The Ten Storey Clock Tower
This story, and related weekly reflections, has been created by Roy Leighton.
It is a resource for schools in the U.K. and internationally that are, or have been, part of the 'Positive Peace' programmes (delivered by Undiscovered Country) and research (conducted by the Faculty of Education, Cambridge University).
The story has been broken into six parts to support the weekly focus on the B.E.C.O.M.E. competencies and values of the peacebuilder.
Every Monday as part of your 'check in' listen to that relevant section of the story and reflect on how you are going to live that value during the week.
Write down what you need to 'keep', 'develop' and 'let go' and review your progress at the Wednesday 'check up' and Friday 'check out'.
