Abstract
Peace linguistics (PL), an emerging area of research and practice, offers ample possibilities for creative exploration and action, but it is not yet familiar to many. In this interactive task-based session, participants will have the opportunity to visualize and brainstorm change in their teaching/learning contexts, to categorize their alternatives and conceptualize, in the process learning about PL, and finally to make a plan for action. It is hoped that participants will leave inspired, with a greater understanding of or curiosity about PL and ways to implement it in their classrooms.
