Peace-building Guide

peace with ourselves-peace with each other-peace with the environment

Peace-building Stories are stories that can be shared together by adults and children. Some of these stories are already published. Each story that has been chosen by the Foundation to use in peace-building programmes contains one or more of the following peace-building elements. These very special stories can be shared in many different ways-

  • amongst family members

  • in classrooms

  • in library storytelling sessions

  • with any children you love

the elements of peace-building stories

  •  happy endings
  •  everyone winning
  •  nonviolent resolution
  •  imaginative and creative
  •  challenges existing stereotyping
  •  faith and hope
  •  peace with the environment
  •  finding personal peace
  •  ...any element that supports the idea that peace is possible
