is a time when people come
together and have a party to celebrate peace! Anything fun that holds up the worth
of persons, friendship, and harmony is appropriate at a Children's Peace Festival.
Some of the things done in the past are:
Sidewalk chalk art
One Sky One World kite fly
Planting a peace garden
Carnival games
Make and take crafts
Multi-cultural children
performances
Face painting
Parade
Bubble making
Clowning
PeaceMobile exhibits
Resource fair where
not-for-profit groups of the community set up displays to promote the services they offer
as well as provide hands-on activities for children
The benefits of Children's Peace Festivals are many. They are
well-covered media events which focus the community's attention on non-violence issues.
They are a catalyst for people to get involved in their community and make a
difference. They energize those who are already engaged in good causes because the
people recognize they are not alone in their endeavor. They bring families together.
They promote positive life skills.

The good that we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain... until it is
secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life. - Jane Addams
