Peace Projects
What
is Peace?
Take a moment to think about what peace means to you. Watch the five
minute movie “What is Peace?” (http://www.peacefulearth.com/peaceflash.html)
Then take a moment and write down what peace means to you. Or if you
feel like it, draw a picture. Start with the words; “Peace is….”
Then write or draw whatever comes to mind.
Interview
other people your age--ask them what peace means to them? See if there
is a pattern. Make a top 10 list. Have classmates each draw a picture
of peace. Post them in a hall or as part of a class project.
TOP 10 List
Take a moment to watch the movie about 10 things you can do to create
peace.

Peace
Dove
Think about getting a group together and creating a peace dove. Jane
Goodall has started a Peace Dove Campaign. You can then fly the dove
at the beach or a public location. Make sure to take pictures!
Here is the link with instructions on how to make the Peace Dove. For

Peace
through Understanding
Do some research on another Culture. What is it like to be a girl in
Japan or India? What is an average day like for someone in Africa?
Write a paper about it. Share it with your local school paper or your
class. Get a group together. Have one person research a specific country,
then take turns sharing what each of you learned about the various countries.
Make sure to share your story with our Community forum. (see below)
Peace
through Connection
Connect with others. Make a friend in another country. Ask questions.
Express concerns. Ask your peers how they would handle a specific situation.
Go to our community forum and click under General Topics.
Then click on the category Peaceful Youth.

Art
for Peace
Create a work of art expressing your vision of Global Unity to exchange
with a person in another part of the world. For more information:
http://www.global-art.org
Peace Puzzles
Global Peace Puzzles that families and groups can work on together.
The originators of the puzzle Susan Belanger and Jeannie Wagner have
created activities and suggestions for puzzle users with the intention
to focus on our inter-connectedness.

Peace Game
Think of different situations that an average person your age would
encounter. For example, a girl friend calls you and tells you how much
she dislikes someone that you like very much.
Write
the situations down on 3X5 cards. Then get a discussion group going
about how you would respond to that situation and maybe what a more
appropriate response would be...
Be sure to send us your scenarios and responses. We may help co-create
a Peace Game for Youth.
Make your own Peaceful
Earth
Make a Peaceful earth with a big ball and some paper mache. Then paint
it. You'll have to brush up on your geography to get the continents
right.
Then you can get creative and paint words of peace on the globe, or
whatever else your mind can conceive of. Proudly display it somewhere
prominent.
Check out the Peace Museum
A special kind of children's peace museum in the Metro Atlanta area
that has hands-on interactive exhibits, learning centers, discovery
workshops, and a resource center that all focus on peacemaking skills,
enhancing character education and making better daily choices that lead
to a more peaceful environment. A traveling program is also available.
