The Gates are our structured educational framework with eight pathways: Awareness (understanding conflict and information systems), Empathy (exploring human stories and building perspective), Understanding (learning war's roots, triggers, and global effects), Action (taking informed steps that reduce harm and support peace), Responsibility (practicing ethical decision-making in how information is shared), Collaboration (working together through dialogue, mediation, and cooperation), Prevention (building resilience and preventing escalation before it begins), and Global Perspective (connecting global issues and learning from diverse regions). Each gate builds critical thinking about conflict and food security.
