Susan has been invited as a speaker to Conferences, organisations and schools. Susan has had a wide ranging background experiencing the inner workings of 400 companies in Australia and the UK. She is a trained economist and market analyst for a decade. She dreamed she was teaching peace and this is where her life completely shifted from the mainstream known world to the unknown world of teaching peace as a way of life in a myriad of ways.

She became a World Peace Clown (fool) for Peace as she calls herself. She recommends to everyone to Awaken the Fool in themselves.

Booking Susan aka Peacefull (fool) will kick off a necessary conversation about peace in our world and how we can all make peace a real outcome in life. Teaching peace is critical for the future of children, sustainability, peace building (transforming bullying), business and the importance of people learning how to work together to achieve their real success. We can all make a difference, it doesn’t take money it takes a commitment and passion to make it happen not only for ourselves but for our children.

These conversations will be a breath of fresh air for those who have never considered the possibility of peace, clowning and sustainability. There is nothing you cannot achieve when you focus clearly.

Her unique journey and turning points are as follows:

В 1998 she dreamed she was teaching peace. В 2000 she became a clown and visited hospitals for the fun of giving love to those sick and trapped in hospital.

В 2001 she moved to Melbourne and was faced with a crossroad:

Do I stay in my career of market research (security) or do I go for a vocation in the Peace area that has no career path?

Потърсете първо да се разбере мир,,en,Насладете какъв мир наистина е,,en,защо не клоун за мир,,en,Сюзън почувствал вдъхновен да създаде реална надежда за децата в училищата,,en,Сюзън помислих защо да не укрепването на мира и на работните места,,en,Сюзан осъзна, ако тя е световен мир клоун тя трябва да пътуват по света,,en,след Австралия,,en,след това Индия,,en,тя сключи мир с Ротари,,en,Сюзан осъзна, че мирът трябва да бъде в медиите,,en,Това е пилотна програма,,en,Тази работа построен на нейните години по радиото общност говори за мир,,en,Ако мир е да се част от това, което сме,,en,ние трябва да научи мир в ранна детска възраст,,en,Пътешествието,,en,запознаване с това и действия на мир трябва да бъдат видими в книгите,,en,че е време да разкажат историята на мира,,en,Тя е автор на ръкописа си, наречен от един шут за мир,,en,От този ръкопис подробно своя опит като световен мир клоун още,,en …

В 2002, Susan chose peace and studied изследвания на мира,,en,с един свят, експерт по Ганди,,en,от Ла Троуб университет,,en,Това отвори нейния свят и за медиация,,en,разрешаване на конфликти и принципна ненасилието,,en,В края на годината,,en,Сюзън, облечен като клоун и отиде до университета,,en,Тя помоли хората,,en,"Какво мислите за мир в себе си и мир в света,,en,Има ли връзка,,en,Тя записал отговорите,,en,В края на този ден тя се е почувствала тя е световен мир Клоун,,en,чудеше,,en,кой друг е мир клоун свят,,en,Тя Гугъл и е установено, д-р,,en,Пач Адамс и пише за него,,en,Защо не,,en,Може би един ден да можем да клоун заедно,,en,Сюзън е поканен да,,en,клоун в Русия с известния клоуна Доктор Пач Адамс,,en,изпълнявана от Робин Уилямс във филма,,en,Тя се присъедини към международен екип от,,en,клоуни учебни безкористно служене,,en,Тя посети домове за сираци,,en,бебешки къщи,,en with a world expert on Gandhi, Dr. Tom Weber, from La Trobe University. This opened her world to mediation, conflict resolution and principled nonviolence. At the end the year, Susan dressed as a clown and went to the university. She asked people ‘what do you think of peace in yourself and peace in the world – is there a connection?’ She wrote down the answers. At the end of that day she felt she was a World Peace Clown. She wondered ‘who else is a world peace clown?’. She Googled and found Dr. Patch Adams and wrote to him. Why not? Maybe one day we can clown together.

Experience what peace really is …. why not clown for peace?

В 2002, Susan was invited to clown in Russia with the famous clown Doctor Patch Adams (played by Robin Williams in the movie). She joined an international team of 40 clowns learning selfless service. She visited orphanages, старчески домове, baby houses, болници и по улиците и в обществения транспорт в Русия,,en,Тя се научи как да се създаде любов революция,,en,Тя видя връзката между клоунадата и мир, както е любов в действие,,en,Тя се връща в Австралия чувството, упълномощено,,en,Почувства се вдъхнови да създадете,,en,Сюзън прекарва следващите няколко години,,en,пионер в училищата образователна програма уникален мир,,en,Тя е дошъл, за да разбере, че с цел да се,,en,поведение на климата трябва да се внуши универсалните ценности,,en,Сюзън е написан и продуциран първото преживяване,,en,ненасилието и срещу тормоза програма, наречена реална надежда,,en,Акроним,,en,Удоволствие и Сервиз,,en,Тази програма е уникална с това, че се преподава от световен мир Клоун на езика на децата, които се отнасят до забавление и проучване,,en,• Разрешаване на проблем,,en,• Разрешаване на конфликти,,en,• Хумор,,en. She learned how to create the love revolution. She saw the connection between clowning and peace as love in action.

В 2004, Susan felt inspired to create REAL HOPE for children in schools …

She returned to Australia feeling empowered. She felt inspired to create a обучение за мир program. Susan spent the next few years pioneering in schools a unique peace education program. She has come to understand that in order to change behaviour you must instill universal values. Susan has written and produced the first experiential, values based peace, nonviolence and anti-bullying program called REAL HOPE(S). An acronym for: Responsibility, Empathy, Awareness, Love, Honesty, Oneness, Мир, Enjoyment and Service. This program is unique in that it is taught by a World Peace Clown in the language of children who relate to fun and exploration:

  • Universal values; • Problem solving: brainstorm and critical inquiry; • Conflict resolution: посредничество, I-statements, role plays, personal inquiry; • Humour: positivity, учене недискриминационен хумор за единство,,en,• Философия и факти,,en,• Емоционална интелигентност,,en,• Комуникационни и умения за слушане,,en,• възприемане и осъзнаване,,en,• политика на ненасилие и пример Ганди,,en,• сътрудничество и единство,,en,• въпроси, войната и мира,,en,• Включително,,en,• Мир като активно,,en,• Удоволствие чрез клоунадата и жонглиране • Визуализация и релаксация,,en,Сюзан мислеше за мир и на работните места,,en,Тя създаде,,en,социална дейност, озаглавен "Worldpeacefull,,en,обединяваща своята визия за един свят, пълен мир,,en,Сюзан видя ясно, че въпросът за тормоз на работното място е заради безсилието хората да се чувстват,,en,Мнозина смятат, че нямат мнение и може неволно привличане на тормоза, както тези, които търсят власт над другите насладите безпомощни цели,,en; • Philosophy and facts; • Emotional intelligence, expression of emotions and feelings; • Communication and listening skills; • Perception and awareness; • Non-violence and Gandhi’s example; • Cooperation and unity; • War and peace issues; • Inclusive, exclusive and discriminatory behaviours; • Peace as active, balanced and calm; • Enjoyment through clowning and juggling • Visualisation and relaxation (meditation).

В 2005, Susan thought why not peace building in workplaces …

She set up a social business entitled ‘Worldpeacefull’ which harnesses her vision of a world peace full. Susan saw clearly that the bullying issue in workplaces is because of the powerlessness people feel. Many feel they have no say and can unwittingly attract bullying as those who seek power over others enjoy helpless targets. фона й в трансформираща мир, който е на път да се обръща на конфликти и вътрешното разследване дава на хората възможността да се разреши собствените си проблеми, самостоятелно или като част от процеса на разрешаване на конфликти,,en,Нейните програми по същество разглеждат конфликт,,en,тормоза и благополучие,,en,Тя е на разположение да говоря с организации за този важен въпрос и ефективни начини, за да го спрат,,en,настъпи и друга повратна точка,,en,Ротари мир,,en,Конфликт Програма изследвания,,en,Сюзън прави дрехи предприятия с приятел Смях клуб пред магазин,,en,Те отидоха в и около clowned за забавление,,en,Те се срещнаха рожден ден момче, което се е случило, че е президент на Ротари,,en,Ами след подаване да учат в Банкок,,en,интервю по радиото и забавна интервю, облечен като клоун с Ротари представители,,en. Her programs essentially dealt with conflict, bullying and wellbeing. She is available to talk to organisations about this important subject and effective ways to stop it.

В 2007-8, another turning point occurred…

The Rotary Peace & Conflict Studies Program, Банкок, Тайланд. Susan was doing dress ups with a Laughter Club friend in front of a shop. They went in and clowned around for fun. They met the birthday boy who happened to be the President of Rotary. Well after a submission to study in Bangkok, a radio interview and a funny interview dressed as a clown with Rotary representatives, Ротари реши биха награда,,en,първият,,en,Световен мир Клоун,,en,Проучване на Ротари за мир,,en,пътува до,,en,Тя посети училищата,,en,университетите,,en,болници и групи,,en,Сюзан реши да,,en,предлагащи тишина и устойчивост образование в училищата,,en,пътуване до Индия с хуманитарните клоуни,,en,Клоуните посетиха изоставени жени в Мисионерската на благотворителността на майка Тереза,,en,ХИВ училище,,en,Глухонеми училище,,en,слепи деца,,en,проказа общности,,en,племенни общности,,en,робския труд общности и неправителствените организации вършат невероятна работа с хората в неравностойно положение,,en,Бяхме свидетели на това как клоунадата може да отвори сърцата и да генерира чувство на приятелство и единство в многообразието,,en,Сюзан посещава,,en,Форум на Ротари за мир в Хавай,,en,и посети с мирни възпитатели в Съединените щати, преподаващи реална надежда в университета в Сан Диего,,en,Тя clowned по улиците,,en, the first World Peace Clown, to study on the Rotary Peace & Conflict Studies Program.

В 2010, Susan realised if she is a World Peace Clown she must travel the world … then Australia … then India!!

В 2010, Susan travelled to 20 countries as a World Peace Clown. She visited schools, universities, hospitals and groups.

В 2011, Susan decided to travelled around Australia offering peace and sustainability education to schools.

В 2012, Susan was invited to travel to India with Humanitarian clowns. The clowns visited abandoned women at Mother Theresa’s Missionary of Charity, HIV school, Deaf and Dumb school, blind children, Leprosy communities, болници, сиропиталища, tribal communities, bonded labour communities and NGO’s doing amazing work with those disadvantaged. We witnessed how clowning can open hearts and generate a sense of friendship and unity in diversity.

В 2013-2015, she made peace with Rotary …

В 2013, Susan attended the Rotary Peace Forum in Hawaii and visited with peace educators in the United States teaching REAL HOPE at the University of San Diego. She clowned on the streets.

В 2014, Тя е поканен да пътува с ротарианец Питър Хол,,en,Ротари клуб Kyneton в Непал, за да работят по,,en,и на клоун да се изгради разбиране,,en,добрата воля и мира,,en,Сюзън беше поканен от Джуди и Джон Стафорд от Ротари клуб Naracoorte да предприеме,,en,в Южна Австралия,,en,Тя преподава мир образование,,en,клоун,,en,посетиха старчески домове и изграждане на мира с хазари бежанци и лидери / общност в духа на забавление и хумор,,en,Сюзън започна,,en,Единството Media,,en,Блог Беседа Радио,,en,Единството радио в САЩ,,en,тя работи върху,,en,образование в ранна детска възраст и мир,,en,при малки деца като основа,,en,Тя ще работи за мир център за малки деца през следващите няколко години,,en,Тя е,,en,автор на,,en,електронни книги,,en,в очакване на,,en,да споделят посланието, че мирът не е възможно, само тя е неизбежна, когато всички ние избираме да бъдем промяната,,en, Rotary Club of Kyneton to Nepal to work on Cultures of Peace and clowning to build understanding, goodwill and peace.

В 2015, Susan was invited by Judy and John Stafford from the Rotary Club of Naracoorte to undertaken peace building in South Australia. She taught peace education, clowning around, visited nursing homes and peace building with Hazara refugees and leaders/community in a spirit of fun and humour.

В 2016, Susan realised that peace must be in the media …

В 2016, Susan started SPEAK UP 4 Oneness Media (Blog Talk Radio) affiliated with Awake 2 Oneness radio in the USA. This was a pilot program. This work built on her years on community radio speaking about peace.

If peace is to part of who we are, we must teach peace in early childhood …

В 2016-18 she is working on early childhood education and peace in young children as a foundation. She will work on a peace centre for young children over the next few years.

The journey, learnings and actions of peace must be visible in books … it is time to tell the peace story …

She has written her manuscript called a Fool for Peace. From this manuscript detailing her experience as a World Peace Clown a further 12 e-books децата, които да споделят посланието,,en,Мирът не е възможно, само тя е неизбежна, когато всички ние избираме да бъдем промяната, която искаме да видим,,en,Всички приходи от продажбите на електронни книги се върви към мир,,en,Ръкописът е безплатно,,en,PDF,,en,За по-нататъшни действия на децата за мир трябва да бъдат вдъхновени да работят за мир в тяхната местност и по целия свят,,en,Говорете е създаден,,en.

Send in the peace clown 12/03/2013 , 2:12 PM by Selina Green (Photo – Tasha Impey) When you hear the word clown – what do you immediately think of? Funny, silly people in bright costumes? Perhaps the circus, or the rodeo? But what about “peacefull”? It’s not a term we would usually associate with clowning around, but Susan Carew is using the age old art of clowning around to spread a message of peace in the community. As Peacefull the Clown, she’s visiting clubs and schools around Naracoorte this week to do workshops with the local community. Stan Thomson asks her how peace clowns differs from other clowns…..Download audio

http://blogs.abc.net.au/files/peace-clown.mp3

This week we had a very entertaining and uplifting visit from Susan Carew who is a Rotary Peace Scholar who dresses as a Clown to get her message across. Susan is a former economist who in 1998 had a “dream of teaching peace”. She has since travelled the world to convey her message of peace…Susan strongly believes that in order to achieve peace it requires us to first find peace within ourselves. This requires us all to use the power of positive thinking to find peace within, then the outside changes. ‘Peace is about connection between people. True peace is not achieved by legal treaties and political solutions.’ It was great to see a person so passionate and dedicated to making the world a better place! Rotary Club of Western Endeavour
