Narrative
Our society is in trouble. Teaching solely reading, writing and arithmetic is not working. Our education systems focus on left-brain cognitive knowledge (IQ), while ignoring critical right-brain emotional skills, language and practice (EQ). We believe that ignoring EQ knowledge, skills and practices are major contributors to the ignorance, dysfunction, aggression, violence, physical ailments and mental health issues ongoing throughout the world today, to even include many aspects of war.

We have a better way.

We believe that the gateway to eliminating those major contributors is through the future of the our world, our children and their mentors and teachers. EQ4Peace teaches children and adults how to be smart with their heart, as well as their mind, by leveraging technology to provide training, textbooks, curriculum, tools, resources and consulting services to teachers, schools, districts and governments, to enhance and expand their emotional education.
