PROJECT ACTIVITIES

Building theoretical knowledge is the first necessary step at laying the foundation on which social actions would spring up.  This is because knowledge is power.  And with knowledge come skills for social analysis and the capacity to plan and implement projects.  Peace World is exposing the children to these realities early on in life, which will stand them in good stead in the future.  Hence, our mandate includes: reading, writing, questioning, dreaming, story-telling, building team spirit and networking as contained in our Opening Session.

In addition, there are a range of activities that are presented to the children through which they are able to make the transition from theory to practice.

Here are some of our activities beginning at the personal level:

  • Always help to tone down an argument at home or at school
  • Share with your siblings and with your friends
  • Put litter in trash can and recycle when you can
  • Make posters/ cards about Peace; send them to Care Homes, Hospitals, Prisons
  • Learn more about various witnesses to Peace (e.g. winners of Nobel Peace Prize); interview your parents
  • Write a poem, a song, a rap about Peace (forgiveness, friendship, patriotism, love)
