1991 5. 1991, Julia Morton-Marr had completed an un-published core-curriculum paper called “Holistic Tourism Education” via the distance education using UNIX through the University of for her Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) at the University of South Australia. The outcome of this paper showed an urgent need for an another paper that could be called ‘Education into the 21st Century” with a focus involving the global commons, especially with the changes expected due to sea-level rise and the greenhouse effect due to climate change. {Academic papers projected a problem with sea level rise, as early 1976 (Graefe A. R.) and again in 1983 (Hoffman J S, Keyes D, Titus J G)}. The outcome of this research was the “School Peace Gardens” 6. The School Peace Gardens concept began on Julia Morton-Marr’s kitchen table in Mississauga. It was developed out of three aspects: a. Julia’s 18 years of Junior Primary teaching and Music Consulting with the Education Department of South Australia and in the Northern Territory, b. Julia’s previous studies (1985-1988) on a local - global micro-cosm on Sir Richard Peninsula, Goolwa, South Australia. This was done with as part of geography of tourism and urban planning research at the University of South Australia with John Braendler. c. Ideas on Peace Through Tourism from attending the IIPT First Global Conference on Peace Through tourism. The combined result was developed into a ‘core’ curriculum for training teachers into “Education into the 21st Century” as a document which was sent to the University of South Australia. This was done on early computers on UNIX through the University of Toronto. This was before the world wide web. 7. 1991: Julia took the idea of School Peace Gardens, where the focus was on the environment, inter-cultural understanding, tourism as a vital force for peace, to the librarian at Ontario Institute of Studies in Education at the University of Toronto.

This was done as ‘infusion’ education, which said, ‘This school is a place of peace’. 9. 1991: Early discussions with Evergreen Foundation who were focussed on school ground naturalization by digging up concrete, nurturing the soil and teaching teachers and students to plant native species.

917. 2016: 29 June; Peter Claesson, in Spain, continues ‘The World School Championship for Reforestation Project’ (WSC) is now completing its second year, working with schools to fundraise t o plant trees in our 18 locations worldwide. We would be unable to grow without the participation of student involvement for our cause. To support and encourage young adults, we will be creating a network of youth ambassadors who are initiating action plans to inspire local young adults worldwide to plant trees in their communities. As an example of a call to action, we had a skype conference with Symbiosis Law School, Noida in New Deli, India. The purpose was to answer questions about reforestation initiatives benefiting the environment. This simple act of communication inspired the school to create their own reforestation project. We encourage our supporters such as the Association for Women Waorani, of Ecuador not only to plant trees, but to structure the best use of their skills. In this case, the tribal women trained young adults in traditional handicraft skills of their local area so that they are discouraged from relying on deforestation as a primary source of income.
