Today
at 1 p.m. CDT, people from all over the world will be reading the
Universal Peace Covenant aloud. Although the peace covenant will be
read in English and Spanish and many other languages, read by men and
by women, by young people and by the elderly—we are asked to
consider all the voices reading aloud the covenant at the same time
to be just one voice, united in hope of peace.
Check
out the official website, which has the Universal Peace Covenant, in
case you want to participate in the global read-aloud.
Create
a Peace Camp!
In
some places, people are holding “peace camps” for kids, where
children can learn about good ideas that encourage peace. Maybe you
could do your own personal “camp” by learning about people like
Harriet Tubman, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., Ruby
Bridges, and Nelson Mandela. Try to implement these “100 Ideas for
Creating a More Peaceful World.” Make a poster for peace. (Here are
some inspirations!) Sing songs about peace!
