Public Speaking

Is Susan Carew cainteoir poiblí gairmiúil a scaireanna le lucht éisteachta 'conas a bheith uathúil agus fíordhifríocht trí bheith Yourself',,en,Is mian Susan a ghlacadh tú ar thuras nuair a fuair sí amach,,en,mar Síochána Clown Domhanda,,en,go bhfuil sí go deimhin, chumhacht a athrú ar an domhan trí athrú féin,,en,Susan tugadh cuireadh mar chainteoir go Comhdhálacha,,en,eagraíochtaí agus scoileanna,,en,Susan Bhí cúlra fadréimseach ag fulaingt an obair istigh de,,en,cuideachtaí,,en,san Astráil agus sa Ríocht Aontaithe,,en,Tá sí ina,,en,eacnamaí oilte agus anailísí margadh,,en,ar feadh deich mbliana,,en,sí,,en,shamhlaigh,,en,Bhí sí ag múineadh na síochána agus is anseo a bhog a saol go hiomlán as an domhan príomhshrutha eolas ag an domhan anaithnid síochána múinteoireachta mar shlí bheatha ar iliomad bealach,,en! Susan’s life experience is unique in the world. Susan wishes to take you on a journey where she discovered, as a World Peace Clown (Fool), that she does indeed have power to change the world by changing herself. She realised the world is out to do her good!

 

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. An aisling catapulted literally amach as an mundane isteach sa ridiculous,,en,Bhí sí ina Síochána Clown Domhanda,,en,amadán,,en,um Shíocháin mar glaonna sí í féin,,en,Molann sí do gach duine a,,en,Dúisigh an amadán,,en,iontu féin,,en,Beidh tús amach comhrá is gá maidir le síocháin inár saol agus conas is féidir linn a dhéanamh ar fad an tsíocháin toradh fíor i saol,,en,Is Múineadh síocháin ríthábhachtach do thodhchaí na bpáistí,,en,gnó agus an tábhacht a bhaineann le daoine foghlaim conas a bheith ag obair le chéile a bhaint amach a rath fíor,,en,ní chuireann sé airgead a thógann sé tiomantas agus paisean a ghlacadh chun go mbeadh sé tarlú ní hamháin dúinn féin ach dár leanaí,,en,Beidh na comhráite a bheith ina anáil an aer úr dóibh siúd riamh a bhfuil a mheas ar an bhféidearthacht na síochána,,en,Is é cuspóir na cainte poiblí a,,en. 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.

The purpose of public speaking is to Dúisigh an amadán a HOPE REAL do Dhomhan-Síochána-Iomlán,,en,Fios a bheith agat gur féidir aon amadán a athrú ar an saol,,en,B'fhéidir go bhfuil sé in am a bheith ina amadán fíor,,en,seo Moltar go mór,,en,Ábhair CAINTE POIBLÍ,,en,ag díriú ar an gclár HOPE REAL,,en,Seirbhís Thar aon ní eile Self Le Rothlach,,en,Ag taisteal le Fools Dhaonnúil go dtí an India,,en,Síochána claochlaitheach,,en,An Idirnáisiúnta SPEAK UP Dámhachtain,,en,páistí a chumhachtú i síocháin agus inbhuanaitheacht,,en,Tá a cuid turas uathúil agus pointí ag casadh mar seo a leanas,,en,shamhlaigh sí go raibh sí ag múineadh na síochána,,en,bhí sí ina fear grinn agus,,en,ospidéil cuairt á tabhairt air,,en,chun spraoi a thabhairt ghrá dá breoite agus gafa i ospidéal,,en,bhog sí go Melbourne agus bhí aghaidh le,,en,crosbhóthair,,en,Is féidir liom fanacht i mo shaol an taighde margaidh,,en,slándála,,en,nó is féidir liom dul ar ghairm sa cheantar Síochána nach bhfuil aon slí bheatha,,en,Susan roghnaigh an tsíocháin agus an staidéar,,en.

Her unique journey and turning points are as follows:

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

In 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?

Iarracht ar dtús síocháin a thuiscint,,en,Taithí cad síocháin i ndáiríre,,en,cén fáth nach fear grinn ar son na síochána,,en,Susan bhraith spreag a chruthú HOPE REAL do pháistí i scoileanna,,en,Susan shíl cén fáth nach tógáil na síochána sna hionaid oibre,,en,Susan thuig má tá sí ina Síochána Clown Domhanda caithfidh sí ag taisteal ar fud an domhain,,en,ansin Astráil,,en,ansin India,,en,rinne sí síochána leis Rothlach,,en,Susan thuig go gcaithfidh an tsíocháin a bheith sna meáin,,en,Ba chlár píolótach,,en,An obair seo tógtha ar a mblianta ar raidió pobail ag labhairt faoi an tsíocháin,,en,Má tá an tsíocháin a chuid cé muid féin,,en,ní mór dúinn a mhúineadh an tsíocháin sa luathóige,,en,An turas,,en,Ní mór do foghlaimíodh agus gníomhartha tsíocháin a bheith le feiceáil i leabhair,,en,tá sé in am a insint ar an scéal na síochána,,en,Tá sí ag scríobh aici lámhscríbhinn a dtugtar amadán um Shíocháin,,en,Ón lámhscríbhinn síos ar a thaithí mar Síochána Clown World breise,,en …

In 2002, Susan chose peace and studied Staidéar síochána,,en,le saineolaí domhanda ar Gandhi,,en,ó La Trobe hOllscoile,,en,D'oscail sé seo a domhan go idirghabháil,,en,réiteach coimhlinte agus nonviolence phrionsabálta,,en,Ag deireadh na bliana,,en,Susan gléasta mar clown agus chuaigh sé go dtí an ollscoil,,en,D'iarr sí daoine,,en,'Cad a cheapann tú na síochána i duit féin agus leis an tsíocháin sa domhan,,en,tá ceangal,,en,Scríobh sí síos na freagraí,,en,Ag deireadh an lae sin bhraith sí go raibh sí ina Síochána Clown Domhanda,,en,wondered sí,,en,cé eile is clown síocháin domhanda,,en,Googled sí agus fuair Dr,,en,Patch Adams agus scríobh chuige,,en,Cén fáth nach bhfuil,,en,B'fhéidir go lá amháin is féidir linn a fear grinn le chéile,,en,Tugadh cuireadh do Susan go,,en,clown sa Rúis leis an clown cáiliúil Dochtúir Patch Adams,,en,a bhí ag Robin Williams sa scannán,,en,Thosaigh sí ag foireann idirnáisiúnta de,,en,clowns foghlama seirbhíse selfless,,en,Thug sí cuairt ndílleachtlanna,,en,tithe leanbh,,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?

In 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, nursing homes, baby houses, ospidéil agus ar na sráideanna agus iompar poiblí sa Rúis,,en,D'fhoghlaim sí conas a chruthú ar an réabhlóid grá,,en,Chonaic sí an nasc idir clowning agus an tsíocháin mar grá i ngníomh,,en,D'fhill sí ar mothú de chumhacht Astráil,,en,Bhraith sí spreag a chruthú,,en,Susan Chaith na blianta atá romhainn,,en,ceannródaíoch i scoileanna clár oideachais síochána uathúil,,en,Tá sí ag teacht ar thuiscint go bhfuil d'fhonn a,,en,iompraíocht a athrú ní mór duit instill luachanna uilechoiteanna,,en,Susan ag scríobh agus a tháirgtear an chéad thaithí,,en,nonviolence agus clár frithbhulaíochta a dtugtar HOPE REAL,,en,An acrainm do,,en,Taitneamh agus Seirbhís,,en,Tá an clár seo ar leith sa mhéid is go bhfuil sé múinte ag Síochána Clown Domhanda i dteanga na leanaí a bhaineann le spraoi agus taiscéalaíochta,,en,• Réiteach fadhbanna,,en,• réiteach coimhlinte,,en,• Greann,,en. She learned how to create the love revolution. She saw the connection between clowning and peace as love in action.

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

She returned to Australia feeling empowered. She felt inspired to create a oideachas síochána 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, Peace, 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: ransú smaointe agus fiosrúcháin criticiúil; • Conflict resolution: idirghabháil, I-ráitis, ról imirt, personal inquiry; • Humour: positivity, foghlama greann neamhidirdhealaitheach le haontacht,,en,• Fealsúnacht agus fíricí,,en,• faisnéis mhothúchánach,,en,• Scileanna cumarsáide agus éisteachta,,en,• Dearcadh agus feasacht,,en,• Neamh-foréigean agus sampla Gandhi,,en,• Comhar agus aontacht,,en,• Saincheisteanna Cogadh agus síocháin,,en,• Chuimsitheach,,en,• Síochána chomh gníomhach,,en,• Taitneamh trí clowning agus juggling • Amharcléiriú agus scíthe,,en,Susan smaoinigh tsíocháin i láithreacha oibre,,en,Bhunaigh sí le,,en,gnó sóisialta dar teideal 'Worldpeacefull,,en,a bhaineann leas as a fís ar shuaimhneas, saol iomlán,,en,Chonaic Susan go soiléir go bhfuil an cheist bulaíochta san ionad oibre mar gheall ar an powerlessness go mothaíonn daoine,,en,Braitheann a lán nach bhfuil aon rá agus is féidir a mhealladh unwittingly bulaíocht mar siúd atá ag lorg cumhacht níos mó ná daoine eile spriocanna helpless taitneamh a bhaint as,,en; • Philosophy and facts; • Emotional intelligence, léiriú mothúcháin agus mothúcháin; • Communication and listening skills; • Perception and awareness; • Non-violence and Gandhi’s example; • Cooperation and unity; • War and peace issues; • Inclusive, iompar eisiach agus idirdhealaitheach; • Peace as active, cothrom agus socair; • Enjoyment through clowning and juggling • Visualisation and relaxation (meditation).

In 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. Tugann a cúlra i síocháin claochlaitheach ina bhfuil thart ar casadh timpeall coimhlint agus fiosrúcháin istigh do dhaoine an cumas chun a gcuid ceisteanna féin a réiteach go neamhspleách nó mar chuid de phróiseas réiteach coimhlinte,,en,Bhí a gcláir déileáladh go bunúsach le coimhlint,,en,bulaíocht agus folláine,,en,Tá sí ar fáil chun labhairt d'eagraíochtaí faoi ábhar tábhachtach agus bealaí éifeachtacha chun stop a chur leis,,en,pointe ag casadh eile tharla,,en,An Síochána Rothlach,,en,Coimhlint Staidéar,,en,Bhí Susan ag déanamh ups gúna le cara Club Gáire i os comhair siopa,,en,Chuaigh siad isteach agus clowned thart do spraoi,,en,Bhuail siad an buachaill lá breithe a tharla a bheith ar an Uachtarán Rothlach,,en,Bhuel tar éis aighneacht chun staidéar a dhéanamh i Bancác,,en,agallamh raidió agus agallamh greannmhar gléasta mar clown le hionadaithe Rothlach,,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.

In 2007-8, another turning point occurred…

The Rotary Peace & Conflict Studies Program, Bangkok, Thailand. 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, Rothlach shocraigh mbeadh siad dámhachtain,,en,an chéad,,en,World Peace Clown,,en,staidéar ar an Síochána Rothlach,,en,thaistil chun,,en,Thug sí cuairt ar scoileanna,,en,ollscoileanna,,en,ospidéil agus grúpaí,,en,Susan cinneadh a,,en,ag tairiscint oideachas síocháin agus inbhuanaitheacht scoileanna,,en,taisteal go dtí an India le clowns Daonnúla,,en,Na clowns bhfuil cuairt á tabhairt mná tréigthe ag Misinéireachta Máthair Treasa na Carthanachta,,en,scoil VEID,,en,Bodhar agus scoil dumb,,en,leanaí atá dall,,en,pobail lobhra,,en,pobail treibhe,,en,pobail saothair faoi bhanna agus eagraíochtaí neamhrialtasacha ag déanamh obair iontach leis sin atá faoi mhíbhuntáiste,,en,chonaic muid conas is féidir clowning hearts oscailt agus tuiscint a bhaineann le cairdeas agus aontacht san éagsúlacht a ghiniúint,,en,D'fhreastail Susan an,,en,Fóram Síochána Rothlach i Haváí,,en,agus thug siad cuairt le lucht oideachais síocháin sna Stáit Aontaithe ag teagasc HOPE REAL in Ollscoil San Diego,,en,clowned sí ar na sráideanna,,en, the first World Peace Clown, to study on the Rotary Peace & Conflict Studies Program.

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

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

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

In 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, hospitals, orphanages, 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.

In 2013-2015, she made peace with Rotary …

In 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.

In 2014, Tugadh cuireadh di a taisteal le Rotarian Peter Hall,,en,Rotary Club na KYNETON go Nepal a bheith ag obair ar,,en,agus clowning tuiscint a thógáil,,en,dea-thoil agus síocháin,,en,Tugadh cuireadh Susan ag Judy agus John Stafford ó Chlub Rothlach na Naracoorte go rinneadh,,en,i New South Wales,,en,Mhúin sí oideachas síochána,,en,clowning timpeall,,en,tithe altranais cuairt á tabhairt air agus síocháin a thógáil le dídeanaithe Hazara agus ceannairí / pobail i spiorad an spraoi agus greann,,en,Susan thosaigh,,en,oneness meáin,,en,Blog Talk Radio,,en,cleamhnaithe le Awake,,en,raidió Oneness i Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá,,en,Tá sí ag obair ar,,en,oideachas agus síocháin luath-óige,,en,i leanaí óga mar bhunús leis,,en,Beidh sí ag obair ar ionad síochána do pháistí óga thar na blianta atá romhainn,,en,Tá sí ina,,en,údar an,,en,r-leabhair,,en,ar feitheamh,,en, Rotary Club of Kyneton to Nepal to work on Cultures of Peace and clowning to build understanding, goodwill and peace.

In 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.

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

In 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 …

In 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 Táirgeadh a roinnt ar an teachtaireacht,,en,Ní féidir ach amháin Síochána go bhfuil sé dosheachanta nuair a roghnaíonn againn ar fad a bheith ar an t-athrú is mian linn a fheiceáil,,en,Gach fáltais ó dhíolacháin ríomhleabhair dul i dtreo na síochána,,en,Is é an lámhscríbhinn saor in aisce,,en,pdf,,en,Chun tuilleadh gníomhaíochta ní mór do pháistí Síochána a spreagadh a bheith ag obair ar an tsíocháin ina gceantar féin agus ar fud an domhain,,en,Cruthaíodh UP SPEAK,,en. Peace is not only possible it is inevitable when we all choose to be the change we wish to see. (see Author for e-books). All proceeds from e-book sales go towards peace. The manuscript is free (pdf).

To further action Peace children must be inspired to work on peace in their locality and around the world!! SPEAK UP was created …

In 2017/18 she is planning to travel the world to establish the International SPEAK UP Award a tharchur https://www.worldpeacefull.com/childrens-speak-up-award/

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
