The tool I chose and researched was the United States Institute of Peace or USIP for short https://www.usip.org/US-Schools. The USIP is a tool used by teachers and students in order to promote the idea that international peace is attainable. They cover issues that are specific to the 21st century in order to keep everything productive. Some of the topics they cover include the relationship between civilians and military, conflict prevention, the environment, all the way through human rights.
What really stuck out to me about this was how committed this organization was to this cause. It truly seems like they are giving every effort they have to promote nationwide and worldwide peace. They allow discussions from all across the nation involving peace or any of the topics above to show the different opinions people have about a topic. They also engage students by doing contests based on certain topics they pick and give out recognition to winners of these contests. They are actively in 15 countries where they help provide training and resources for people and other groups who want to promote peace. I would use this in a classroom setting to show students the problem other countries face as I feel like it is super important for children to be educated on world problems and advocate for world peace.
