In the town of Ksar El Kebir Morocco, there is a growing concern about youth violence and community violence, which poses a threat to both individual and community well-being. The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a peace education intervention to address social issues of youth violence in Morocco. Peace education programs often seek to address the multiple manifestations of violence and to explore alternatives to violence in order to transcend and transform conflict (Kester, 2008). The literature that framed this study outlines peace education as operating in three distinct social contexts; areas of intractable conflict, areas of inter-ethnic tension and areas of tranquility (Salomon, 2007). Communities like Ksar El Kebir have been ignored by these categories and as such there was a need to evaluate the potential for peace education to reduce community violence in situations that do not fit neatly into the three categories of peace education. Given this, Ksar El Kebir was an ideal location to implement a peace education approach to address social issues the town is facing and research its effects and appropriateness to add to the body of knowledge on peace education programs. To accomplish the goal of this study, the researcher implemented a six week peace education intervention with youth between the ages of 15 and 19 who were selected based on a set of criteria developed with educators and community members from Ksar El Kebir. In order to understand the impact of the intervention on both the students and the community, a mixed methods approach was utilized, which has been identified as an appropriate research method to investigate the processes of youth development work. Community interviews coupled with daily reflection sheets from students in the intervention program and observation sheets from the researcher were part of the qualitative data collection process. A pre- and post-survey was used to collect quantitative information directly related to the intervention program and its process. Early results illustrate that both youth and the community believe in the value of a peace education program, especially when it incorporates the culture and norms of the society/community. Further analysis shows that youth in Ksar El Kebir are more inclined to feel part of a connected community if they understand their roles and agency within the community, thereby, possibly reducing ill behaviors among themselves and within the larger society.
