Peace Village Key Activities ☺ Shower of Peace The peace advocates start the day with a “clean breast” shorn of biases and prejudices, by taking a collective shower. It’s a symbolic gesture of oneness in their vow to create a culture of peace.
☺ Peace Congress This event allows the young to learn to solve problems and think critically on issues of peace, conflict and violence. They also develop camaraderie and interpersonal relationships. ☺ Peace Learning Hubs Combine learning and fun. They allow ample space for children to explore, express themselves, discover and learn with fellow learners. They promote activities that seek to blend peace education with curricular content.
☺ Peace Art/Peace Wall The Peace Wall is an outdoor gallery of children’s art about conflict and non-violence. The children render their visions of peace and their ideal world in words and in drawings. ☺ Peace Reflections The young Villagers cap the day with introspective contemplation on peace. They share their musings on peace, recall experience, and express their feelings toward peace – all as an exercise in self-awareness.
