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. Svajonė tiesiog atnešė ją iš pasaulietinės į juokinga,,en,Ji tapo Pasaulio taikos Klounas,,en,kvailys,,en,taikos, kaip ji vadina save,,en,Ji rekomenduoja visiems, kad,,en,Pažadinti Fool,,en,patys,,en,bus nusimesti reikalingą pokalbį apie taiką mūsų pasaulyje, ir kaip mes visi galime padaryti taika tikras rezultatas gyvenime,,en,Mokymo taiką yra ypač svarbus vaikų ateities,,en,verslo ir žmonių svarbą išmokti dirbti kartu, kad pasiekti savo tikrąją sėkmę,,en,jame neatsižvelgiama pinigus jis turėjo įsipareigojimą ir aistra, kad tai atsitiko ne tik dėl savęs, bet mūsų vaikams,,en,Šie pokalbiai bus šviežio oro gūsis tiems, kurie niekada nebuvo laikomas taikos galimybė,,en,Viešojo kalbėjimo tikslas yra,,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, tvarumas, 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 Pažadinti kvailas viltis dėl pasaulinės taikos ir visiškai,,en,Žinoti, kad bet koks kvailys gali pakeisti pasaulį,,en,Galbūt atėjo laikas būti tikras kvailys,,en,tai yra labai rekomenduojama,,en,Viešojo kalbėjimo TEMOS,,en,sutelkiant dėmesį į viltis programos,,en,Paslaugų Svarbiausia save su Rotary,,en,Kelionės su Humanitarinių Fools į Indiją,,en,transformacijos taikos,,en,Tarptautinė SPEAK UP apdovanojimą,,en,Teisių suteikimo vaikams taiką ir tvarumo,,en,Jos unikali kelionė ir tekinimo taškai yra taip,,en,ji svajojo ji mokė taiką,,en,ji tapo klounas ir,,en,aplankė ligoninės,,en,už dovanojančios meilės tiems ligoniams įdomus ir įstrigę ligoninę,,en,ji persikėlė į Melburną ir susidūrė su,,en,sankryža,,en,Ar man likti mano karjeroje rinkos tyrimų,,en,saugumas,,en,ar man eiti į taikos srityje pašaukimo, kad neturi karjeros kelią,,en,Susana pasirinko taikos ir mokėsi,,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?

Seek first to understand peace …

In 2002, Susan chose peace and studied taikos studijos,,en,su pasaulio ekspertas Gandhi,,en,nuo La Trobe universiteto,,en,Tai atvėrė savo pasaulį tarpininkavimo,,en,konfliktų sprendimas ir principinga nesmurtiniai,,en,Tuo metų pabaigoje,,en,Susana apsirengęs kaip klounas ir nuėjo į universitetą,,en,Ji paprašė žmonių,,en,"Ką jūs manote apie taiką sau ir taikos pasaulyje,,en,Ar yra ryšys,,en,Ji surašė atsakymus,,en,Tuo tos dienos pabaigoje ji pajuto ji buvo pasaulio taika Klounas,,en,ji stebėjosi,,,en,kas dar yra pasaulio taikos klounas,,en,Ji Googled ir nustatė, Dr,,en,Pleistras Adamsas ir parašė jam,,en,Kodėl gi ne,,en,Gal vieną dieną mes galime klounas kartu,,en,Susana buvo pakviestas į,,en,klounas Rusijoje su garsiuoju klounas daktaras Patch Adams,,en,vaidino Robin Williams filme,,en,Ji prisijungė prie tarptautinės komandos,,en,klounai mokymosi nesavanaudiška tarnystė,,en,Ji aplankė vaikų namus,,en,kūdikių namai,,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, slaugos namai, baby houses, Ligoninės ir gatvėse ir visuomeninio transporto Rusijoje,,en,Ji sužinojo, kaip sukurti meilės revoliuciją,,en,Ji pamatė ryšį tarp Błaznowanie ir taikos kaip meilės veiksmų,,en,Ji grįžo į Australiją jausmas įgaliota,,en,Ji jautėsi įkvėpė sukurti,,en,Susana praleido kelerius ateinančius metus,,en,novatorišką mokyklose unikalus taikos švietimo programos,,en,Ji atėjo suprasti, kad, siekiant,,en,keisti elgseną turite įteigti universalias vertybes,,en,Susana parašė ir išleido pirmąjį patirtinio,,en,Atsisakymas Smurtiniai metodų ir anti-patyčių programa, vadinama viltis,,en,Akronimas už,,en,Malonumas ir paslaugų,,en,Ši programa yra unikali tuo, kad ji yra mokoma pagal Pasaulio taikos klounas vaikų kalba, kas susiję su įdomus ir žvalgyba,,en,• Problemų sprendimas,,en,• Konfliktų sprendimas,,en,• Humoras,,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 taikos švietimas 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: brainstorm and critical inquiry; • Conflict resolution: tarpininkavimas, I-statements, role plays, personal inquiry; • Humour: pozityvumo, mokymosi nediskriminacinį humoro vienybės,,en,• Filosofija ir faktai,,en,• Emocinis intelektas,,en,• Bendravimo ir klausymo įgūdžiai,,en,• suvokimas ir supratimas,,en,• Ne smurto ir Gandhi pavyzdžiu,,en,• Bendradarbiavimas ir vienybė,,en,• Karas ir taika klausimai,,en,• Integracinis,,en,• Ramybė kaip aktyvus,,en,• malonumas per Błaznowanie ir žongliravimo • vizualizacija ir atsipalaidavimo,,en,Susana minties apie taiką darbo vietų,,en,Ji įsteigė,,en,socialinis verslas, pavadintą "Worldpeacefull,,en,kuri petnešos savo viziją pasaulio taikos visiškai,,en,Susana aiškiai matė, kad patyčių problema darbovietėse yra dėl bejėgiškumo žmonės jaučiasi,,en,Daugelis mano, kad jie neturi ir gali nesąmoningai pritraukti patyčių, kaip tiems, kurie siekia galią kitiems patinka bejėgis tikslus,,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).

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. Jos fone transformacijos taikos, kuri yra apie sukant aplink konflikto ir vidinio tyrimo suteikia žmonėms galimybę išspręsti savo problemas savarankiškai arba kaip dalis konfliktų sprendimo procesą,,en,Jos programos iš esmės sprendžiamas konfliktas,,en,patyčios ir gerovė,,en,Ji yra prieinama kalbėti organizacijų apie šia svarbia tema ir efektyviausių būdų tai sustabdyti,,en,kitas lūžis įvyko,,en,Rotary Taikos,,en,Konfliktų studijų programą,,en,Susana darau suknelė ups su Juokas Club draugui priešais parduotuvę,,en,Jie nuėjo ir clowned aplink for fun,,en,Jie susitiko gimtadienio berniukas, kuris atsitiko būti Rotary prezidentas,,en,Na po pateikimo studijuoti Bankokas,,en,radijo interviu ir juokinga interviu apsirengęs kaip klounas su rotaciniu atstovų,,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, Tailandas. 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, Rotacinis nusprendė, kad jie būtų apdovanojimą,,en,Pirmas,,en,Pasaulio taikos Klounas,,en,studijuoti į Rotary Taikos,,en,keliavo į,,en,Ji lankėsi mokyklose,,en,universitetai,,en,Ligoninės ir grupės,,en,Susana nusprendė,,en,siūlo taikos ir tvarumo išsilavinimą mokyklose,,en,keliauti į Indiją su Humanitarinių klounai,,en,Klounai aplankė apleistus moterys ne Mother Theresa misionieriškos labdaros,,en,ŽIV mokyklos,,en,Kurčnebylys mokykla,,en,akli vaikai,,en,raupsai bendruomenės,,en,genčių bendruomenės,,en,muitinės darbo bendruomenes ir NVO daro nuostabų darbą su socialiai nuskriaustų,,en,Mes matėme, kaip Błaznowanie gali atverti širdis ir generuoti draugystės jausmą ir vienybė įvairovėje,,en,Susana lankė,,en,Rotacinis Taikos Forumas Havajuose,,en,ir aplankė taikos pedagogų JAV mokymo viltis į San Diego universiteto,,en,Ji clowned gatvėse,,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 keliavo po Australiją 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, ligoninės, 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, Ji buvo pakviesta keliauti su rotarian Peter Hall,,en,Rotacinis klubas Kyneton į Nepalą dirbti,,en,ir Błaznowanie statyti supratimą,,en,prestižas ir taika,,en,Susana buvo pakviestas Judy ir John Stafford iš Rotary klubo Naracoorte į imtasi,,en,Pietų Australijoje,,en,Ji mokė taikos išsilavinimą,,en,Błaznowanie aplink,,en,aplankė slaugos namuose ir taika pastatas su Hazara pabėgėlių ir vadovų / Bendrijoje per įdomus ir humoro dvasia,,en,Susana pradėjo,,en,išskirtinumas Žiniasklaida,,en,Dienoraštis Aptarimas Radijas,,en,Išskirtinumas radijo JAV,,en,ji dirba,,en,ankstyvasis ugdymas ir taika,,en,mažiems vaikams, kaip pamatai,,en,Ji dirbs taikos centras mažiems vaikams per artimiausius kelerius metus,,en,Ji yra,,en,autorius,,en,e-knygas,,en,kol,,en,pasidalinti pranešimą, kad taika yra neįmanoma tik tai yra neišvengiama, kai mes visi rinktis, kad būtų pokytis,,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 were produced to share the message. Peace is not only possible it is inevitable when we all choose to be the change we wish to see. (matyti Autorius e-knygų,,en,Visos pajamos eiti link taikos,,en,ji planuoja keliauti po pasaulį įsteigti,,en,į,,en,Susana dar žinomas kaip,,en,kalbėti susisiekite,,en,Viešojo kalbėjimo PATIRTIS,,en,Rotary klubo Kenterberio,,en,pristatymas apie Rotary Taikos,,en,La Trobe universitetas,,ca,Rotary klubo Mt Martha,,en,Pristatymas į kaimo Rotary klubų Pietų Australijoje diapazone,,en,Rotacinis klubas Greensborough Vidurio,,en,Rotary klubo ir Rosanna,,en,Pristatymas "Kelionės į pasaulio" išryškinti Kašmyro situaciją studentams Gujarat Vidyapith universiteto,,en,įkūrė Gandhi,,en). 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 …

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
