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. ndoto literally catapulted yake nje ya mundane katika ujinga,,en,Akawa World Peace Clown,,en,mjinga,,en,kwa ajili ya amani kama yeye ajiitaye,,en,Yeye anapendekeza kwa kila mtu kwa,,en,kuamsha Fool,,en,ndani yao wenyewe,,en,utaanza mazungumzo muhimu kuhusu amani katika dunia yetu na jinsi sisi wote wanaweza kufanya amani matokeo ya kweli katika maisha,,en,Kufundisha amani ni muhimu kwa ajili ya baadaye ya watoto,,en,biashara na umuhimu wa watu kujifunza jinsi ya kufanya kazi kwa pamoja ili kufikia mafanikio yao halisi,,en,haina kuchukua fedha inachukua kujituma na shauku ya kufanya hivyo kutokea si tu wenyewe lakini kwa watoto wetu,,en,Mazungumzo haya itakuwa pumzi ya hewa safi kwa wale ambao hawajawahi kuchukuliwa uwezekano wa amani,,en,Madhumuni ya kusema mbele ya watu ni,,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 Kuamsha Fool kwa Tumaini Hakika kwa World-amani Full,,en,Kujua kwamba mpumbavu yoyote inaweza kubadilika dunia,,en,Pengine ni wakati kuwa mpumbavu halisi,,en,hii inapendekezwa sana,,en,PUBLIC KUSEMA TOPICS,,en,kuelekeza nguvu katika mpango Tumaini,,en,Service Above Self Kwa Rotary,,en,Kusafiri na Wapumbavu Humanitarian to India,,en,mabadiliko ya amani,,en,International kuongea tuzo,,en,Kuwawezesha watoto katika ujenzi wa amani na endelevu,,en,safari yake ya kipekee na kugeuka pointi ni kama ifuatavyo,,en,yeye ndoto alikuwa kufundisha amani,,en,akawa Clown na,,en,hospitali alitembelea,,en,kwa ajili ya kujifurahisha za kutoa upendo kwa wale wagonjwa na wako katika hospitali,,en,yeye alihamia Melbourne na ilikuwa inakabiliwa na,,en,njia panda,,en,Je, nina kukaa katika kazi yangu ya utafiti wa soko,,en,usalama,,en,au mimi kwenda kwa wito katika eneo Amani ambacho hakina kazi ambayo,,en,Susan aliamua amani na alisoma,,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?

Kutafuta kwanza ya kuelewa amani,,en,Uzoefu wa jinsi gani amani kweli ni,,en,kwa nini Clown amani,,en,Susan waliona aliongoza kuunda Tumaini kwa watoto katika shule za,,en,Susan mawazo kwa nini ujenzi wa amani katika maeneo ya kazi,,en,Susan barabara kama yeye ni World Peace Clown yeye lazima kusafiri ulimwengu,,en,kisha Australia,,en,kisha India,,en,yeye alifanya amani na Rotary,,en,Susan waligundua kwamba amani ni lazima katika vyombo vya habari,,en,Hii ilikuwa ni mpango wa majaribio,,en,Kazi hii imejengwa juu ya miaka yake kwenye redio ya jamii kuzungumza kuhusu amani,,en,Kama amani ni sehemu ya sisi ni nani,,en,ni lazima kufundisha amani mapema utotoni,,en,Safari,,en,tuliyojifunza na matendo ya amani lazima kuonekana katika vitabu,,en,ni mara ya kuelezea hadithi amani,,en,Yeye ameandika mswada wake aitwaye Fool kwa ajili ya amani,,en,Kutoka mswada huu kina uzoefu wake kama World Peace Clown zaidi,,en …

In 2002, Susan chose peace and studied Mafunzo ya amani,,en,na mtaalam dunia kwenye Gandhi,,en,kutoka La Trobe University,,en,Hii kufunguliwa dunia yake ya upatanishi,,en,utatuzi wa migogoro na kanuni amani bila fujo,,en,Mwisho wa mwaka,,en,Susan wamevaa kama Clown akaenda chuo,,en,Aliwaambia watu,,en,'Unafikiri ya amani katika mwenyewe na amani duniani,,en,kuna uhusiano,,en,Aliandika majibu,,en,Mwisho wa siku kwamba yeye waliona alikuwa World Peace Clown,,en,alishangaa,,en,nani mwingine ni dunia amani Clown,,en,Yeye Googled na kupatikana Dr,,en,Kiraka Adams na kuandika na yeye,,en,Kwa nini isiwe hivyo,,en,Labda siku moja tunaweza Clown pamoja,,en,Susan alialikwa,,en,Clown katika Urusi na Clown maarufu Daktari Kiraka Adams,,en,alicheza kwa Robin Williams katika filamu,,en,Yeye alijiunga na timu ya kimataifa ya,,en,clowns kujifunza kujitoa kumtumikia,,en,Alitembelea nyumba za mayatima,,en,nyumba ya mtoto,,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, nyumba ya uuguzi, baby houses, hospitali na katika mitaa na usafiri wa umma katika Urusi,,en,Alijifunza jinsi ya kujenga upendo mapinduzi,,en,Aliwaona uhusiano kati clowning na amani kama upendo katika hatua,,en,Alirejea Australia hisia uwezo,,en,Alihisi aliongoza kuunda,,en,Susan alitumia miaka michache,,en,uanzilishi katika shule amani kipekee mpango wa elimu,,en,Yeye amekuja kuelewa kwamba ili,,en,mabadiliko ya tabia lazima zinazozalishwa maadili zima,,en,Susan ameandika na kuzalisha uzoefu kwanza,,en,kuepuka jeuri na kupambana na uonevu programu inayoitwa Tumaini,,en,kifupi kwa ajili ya,,en,Starehe na Huduma,,en,Mpango huu ni ya kipekee kwa kuwa ni kufundishwa na World Peace Clown kwa lugha watoto ambao kuhusiana na furaha na utafutaji,,en,• Kutatua tatizo,,en,• Kukomesha mgongano,,en,• Vichekesho,,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 elimu amani 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: upatanishi, I-statements, role plays, personal inquiry; • Humour: positivity, kujifunza ucheshi kutobagua rangi umoja,,en,• Falsafa na ukweli,,en,• akili Emotional,,en,• Mawasiliano na kusikiliza ujuzi,,en,• Mtazamo na ufahamu,,en,• Mashirika yasiyo ya vurugu na mfano Gandhi,,en,• Ushirikiano wa na umoja,,en,• Masuala Vita na amani,,en,• mjumuisho,,en,• Amani kama kazi,,en,• Starehe kupitia clowning na mauzauza • Taswira na utulivu,,en,Susan mawazo kuhusu amani katika maeneo ya kazi,,en,Yeye kuweka,,en,biashara ya kijamii yenye kichwa 'Worldpeacefull,,en,ambayo harnesses maono yake ya amani duniani kamili,,en,Susan aliona wazi kwamba uonevu suala katika maeneo ya kazi ni kwa sababu ya kukosekana kwa uwezo watu wajihisi,,en,Wengi wanaona hawana sauti na inaweza unwittingly kuvutia uonevu kama wale ambao wanataka nguvu juu ya wengine kufurahia malengo wanyonge,,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. background yake kwa amani kuleta mabadiliko ambayo ni kuhusu akageuka migogoro na uchunguzi wa ndani huwapa watu uwezo wa kutatua masuala yao wenyewe ama kwa kujitegemea au kama sehemu ya vita mchakato azimio,,en,mipango yake kimsingi kushughulikiwa na migogoro,,en,uonevu na ustawi,,en,Yeye ni inapatikana kwa kuzungumza na mashirika ya kuhusu suala hili muhimu na njia bora ya kuzuia ni,,en,hatua nyingine kugeuka ilitokea,,en,Rotary Amani,,en,Migogoro Mafunzo Programu,,en,Susan nikifanya ups mavazi na rafiki Kicheko Club mbele ya duka,,en,Wakaingia, clowned karibu kwa ajili ya kujifurahisha,,en,Walikutana siku ya kuzaliwa mvulana ambaye ilitokea kuwa Rais wa Rotary,,en,Naam baada ya kuwasilisha kusoma katika Bangkok,,en,mahojiano ya redio na funny mahojiano wamevaa kama Clown na wawakilishi Rotary,,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, Rotary aliamua wao ingekuwa tuzo,,en,ya kwanza,,en,kujifunza juu ya Amani Rotary,,en,alisafiri kwenda,,en,Alitembelea Shule ya,,en,vyuo vikuu,,en,hospitali na makundi,,en,Susan aliamua,,en,sadaka za amani na endelevu elimu kwa shule,,en,kusafiri kwenda India na clowns Humanitarian,,en,clowns alitembelea wanawake kutelekezwa katika Missionary Mama Theresa wa Charity,,en,shule HIV,,en,Viziwi na shule Dumb,,en,watoto wasioona,,en,jamii ukoma,,en,jumuiya za makabila,,en,jamii za kazi Bonded na asasi zisizo za kiserikali kufanya kazi ya ajabu na wale yenye matatizo,,en,Tulishuhudia jinsi clowning unaweza kufungua mioyo na kuzalisha hisia ya urafiki na umoja katika utofauti,,en,Susan walihudhuria,,en,Rotary Amani Forum katika Hawaii,,en,na alitembelea na waelimishaji amani nchini Marekani kufundisha Tumaini katika Chuo Kikuu cha San Diego,,en,Yeye clowned katika mitaa,,en,Alikuwa mwenyeji wa kusafiri na Rotarian Peter Hall,,en, the first World Peace Clown, kwa 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, hospitali, yatima, 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, She was invited to travel with Rotarian Peter Hall, Rotary Club of Kyneton kwa Nepali kwa kazi ya,,en,na clowning kujenga uelewa,,en,ukarimu na amani,,en,Susan alialikwa na Judy na Yohana Stafford kutoka Rotary Club ya Naracoorte kwa uliofanywa,,en,katika Australia Kusini,,en,Yeye alifundisha elimu amani,,en,Clowning Around,,en,alitembelea nyumba ya uuguzi na kujenga amani na wakimbizi Hazara na viongozi / jamii katika roho ya furaha na ucheshi,,en,Susan alianza,,en,umoja Media,,en,Blog Majadiliano Radio,,en,radio umoja katika Marekani,,en,yeye ni kufanya kazi juu ya,,en,elimu ya chekechea na amani,,en,kwa watoto wadogo kuwa msingi,,en,Yeye kazi kwa kituo cha amani kwa watoto wadogo zaidi ya miaka michache ijayo,,en,yeye ni,,en,mwandishi wa,,en,e-vitabu,,en,inasubiri,,en,kushiriki ujumbe wa amani haiwezekani tu ni kuepukika wakati sisi wote kuamua kuwa mabadiliko,,en,kuona Mwandishi kwa e-vitabu,,en,Wote kuendelea kwenda kwa amani,,en 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 zilitolewa ili kushiriki ujumbe,,en,Amani haiwezekani tu ni kuepukika wakati sisi wote kuamua kuwa mabadiliko tunataka kuona,,en,Mapato yote kutokana na mauzo ya barua kitabu kwenda kuelekea amani,,en,mswada ni bure,,en,pdf,,en,Kwa hatua zaidi watoto Amani lazima aliongoza kwa kazi ya amani katika maeneo yao na duniani kote,,en,Kuongea iliundwa,,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 …

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
