StoryJam will now continue the great Puppets for Peace tradition! StoryJam, a Calgary-based peace arts company, now presents the puppet shows started by Project Ploughshares. StoryJam is comprised of three passionate peace proponents: Fif Fernandes and Hamish Boyd, professional performers who have been involved in Project Ploughshares for years, and Carolyn Pogue, a Calgary author who wrote one of our scripts, "Birds of a Feather."

StoryJam is committed to the puppetry work pioneered in Calgary by Project Ploughshares. StoryJam continues to offer a choice of three age-appropriate, interactive puppet presentations with peaceful relationships as the central theme. In addition, children learn about how bullying fits into the bigger "peace picture." Teachers receive peace resources, including The Family Covenant of Nonviolence which they may photocopy and incorporate into their class work or send home with students.

Kindergarten and Grade 1: Friendship skills

Grades 1 to 3: Steps to handle bullying

Grades 4 to 6: Active citizenship arising from a bullying situation

In addition to the puppet presentations, StoryJam will be happy to discuss other peace options with you for students to grade 12, teachers and other adults. StoryJam offers workshops on peace through writing, laughter, camps and much more.
