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 more info: http://giantpeacedoves.org/index.html
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.

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.
