“Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed” (Unesco Constitution)
These words are very timely. The wars that still rage throughout the world upset the lives of thousands of people, adults and children. The conflict in Ukraine is the latest dramatic example. This is why we work to spread peace as a culture and lifestyle . Peace, in fact, is not just the absence of conflict, but the premise for a more equal and sustainable society, based on dialogue, inclusion, cooperation and respect. Living Peace International is a project that every day proposes to its global network to experience peace starting from reflections and concrete actions. On September 17th from 4 pm to 7 pm, we will be in Piazza Cavour in Grottaferrata for an event for peace within the Settembre grottaferrarese. An afternoon with activities for children and teenagers from 3 to 11 years old, open to friends and families to discover how beautiful it is to be together in the name of peace .
What will we do?
Let’s talk about peace and live peace, starting from our small gestures: with this spirit the Living Peace International project invites the youngest to participate in the activities of “LIVE PEACE – Let’s make peace fly, together!” During the afternoon of celebration you can participate in Coloramici where you can color together the Dice of Peace , which on its faces does not have numbers, but actions of peace that we can put into practice every day. Always armed with colors and brushes you can color the Mandalas of Peace , symbols that can become a gift to prepare for those in difficulty or color the Flag of Peace , which has no symbols or national borders, but wants to embrace and bring peace throughout the world!
And to let loose a little?
Dress comfortably because there will be Sport 4 Peace that will involve boys and girls in games and group activities to build together… Peace! And finally Seminiamo la Pace that will propose to the young participants to create plants as a souvenir of the day, using recycled materials.
