Living Peace, A Booklet for Peace Education

March 25, 2014

 

Peace is not a value that is given; it is a value we must learn in order to know, that we have to experience on our own skin, we must include in our everyday behavior, in small and large acts of love that are done under our eyes.

Students at El Rowad American College, under the direction of Mr. Carlos Dario Palma Lema, start every morning with a toss of the "Dice of Peace" as a commitment to live in peace with one another. This simple activity encourages the young people in Cairo, Egypt to create a culture of peace by living out the following 6 statements featured on the faces of the dice:

  • "I am the first to love"
  • "I love everybody"
  • "I love the other person"
  • "I listen to the other person"
  • "We forgive one another"
  • "We love each other"

You can join with thousands of students from 25 countries now participating in the “Dice of Peace” exercise, in your own classroom, by printing your own dice of peace.
