Project DESTINY is an innovative after school violence prevention program, based on the philosophy and practice of traditional martial arts, the creativity and expression of dance and the practical skills of conflict resolution. The purpose of the program is to teach children the tools they need to inspire them towards positive and effective participation in their school and communities. Project DESTINY focuses on building self-discipline, self-expression, confidence and a sense of mastery. The long-term goal is to teach children to deal positively, creatively, and ultimately peacefully, with situations that are potentially violent, and to inspire them to become conflict managers in their schools and communities. The program involves a rigorous regime of martial arts and dance training, in combination with fun theater games and role plays that help the youth practice specific conflict resolution techniques. The curriculum is centered on the Five Fingers of Violence Prevention and the Warrior’s Code, which students learn and practice in depth.
