Do YOU support PEACE?
Do YOU support NONVIOLENCE?
Would YOU help to make PEACE by starting
/ joining a branch of THE PEACE PEOPLE at your school??
For more than thirty years the Peace People have worked tirelessly
to create a better world and a more just society.
The situation and circumstances have changed, but the need
to promote peace and non-violence throughout the world remains
as vital as ever.
What do the PEACE PEOPLE do?
Current Projects
• The United Nations Decade for a Culture of Peace and
Nonviolence for the Children of the World
• Lobbying for a Minister with responsibility for Peace
within the Northern Ireland Executive
• A visit to Northern Ireland by a group of Israeli
and Palestinian peace activists.
Global Issues
• Attention to World issues of Peace and Nonviolence
led by Mairead Corrigan Maguire, Nobel Peace Laureate
What could a school chapter of Peace People International
do?
1. Perform a local act to encourage peace where there is
antagonism (this could range from some form of community service
to addressing a problem such as bullying of an individual
or minority group)
2. Encourage some act or project or programme for peace in
the education of young people (possibly a cross-community
project with another group or an article in a local newspaper
)
3. Contribute to an act of reconciliation in our own country
or on the international scene (support for an individual or
group which suffers from oppression)
4. Meet regularly to discuss the core elements of Peace and
Nonviolence, Identity, Culture, Religion, Politics, Sectarianism,
Human Rights and Disarmament Projects, Justice, Conflict Resolution
5. Try to involve some new members.
6. Encourage the creation of another Chapter for Peace.
7. Raise some funds for a Peace Project of your choice.
(The Peace People is a voluntary organisation totally dependent
upon donations and subscriptions)
Would you be willing to create a Chapter
in the
Book of Peace?
