Youth for Peace

Description:

We integrate the topic “Peace” into the teaching of all subjects. We talk about peaceful conflict resolution and dramatize situations in which we practice how to express ourselves. Last year, three refugee students from Ukraine came to our class, which encouraged additional empathy. We wrote compositions, and messages in our mother tongue, translated them into English, and then through the game “Match the rhyme” we wrote our song for peace. As a teacher, I had the role of motivator and moderator. We have previous experience in recording, but we have repeated the recordings several times. We chose music under the influence of the European anthem and our national anthem, which we learned while designing our message of peace in regular classes. We concluded that we can contribute to peace with small actions and kind words.
