Living Peace International is a peace education program aimed at teachers, educators, children and young people of all school levels and youth groups.
To date, more than a thousand schools and groups are involved in the project and more than a million children and young people have been reached by its initiatives across 5 continents.
THE DICE OF PEACE
The Living Peace International project is based on the roll of the PEACE DICE , on whose faces there are no numbers, but phrases that help build peaceful relationships between all .
Generally, the die is rolled every morning or with varying frequency: everyone, young or old, commits to being a protagonist in putting the sentence into practice.
It is inspired by the points of “The Art of Loving” that years earlier Chiara Lubich had proposed, using a dice, to the children of the Focolare Movement.
Every reality is different, as are the culture, religion, and age of the participants. The proposed dice model can therefore be changed and customized, as long as it always encourages a concrete experience of peace.

TIME OUT
Things?
Time Out is a time to pause, every day at 12 pm, for a minute of silence, reflection, and prayer for peace.
Where?
You can practice Time Out anywhere and it is an event that unites the whole world, at 12pm (midday) depending on each time zone
Who?
Time Out can be practiced by anyone. Many schools now practice it every day since joining the Living Peace project.
Why ?
At the beginning of the Gulf War (1990-91), Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare Movement, proposed this action to make all those who believed and worked for peace feel united in a world where wars never seemed to end.
Even today, this commitment is an opportunity to connect people from all over the world who work to build peace or who inspire others to live and work for this goal.
LIVING PEACE INTERNATIONAL IS PRESENT IN 150 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD
