What does it mean that “peace begins with me?”
From Connections by CLF

Goal:
To develop awareness that there are things each of us can do to be peace makers in our world.

Materials:
Large poster board
Magazines for cutting out pictures
Blank paper and materials for drawing

Activity:
Make a Peace Poster

Procedures:
At the top of the poster write the words:
"Peace means taking care of ourselves, each other, and our earth”

Draw a circle in the middle of the poster board to represent the earth (color if you want). Then draw three lines out from the circle forming peace symbol on the poster board that divides it into thirds.

Write the words “OURSELVES,” “EACH OTHER,” and “OUR EARTH” around the edge of the circle in each of the three sections.

Using pictures (either photos or drawings) fill in each section with images of your family and friends, people taking care of each other, and people taking care of the earth.

Stress: Peacemaking begins with each individual—and that means you and me!
