"Focus on Peace"
|
|
Students from India and the United States will have the opportunity to
participate in
cultural sharing and understanding through
the medium of photography.
(videos, art & writings will also be used to in this project of cultural
exchange)
Using the internet as a communication tool the children who participate in this
program
will be able to express their ideas of peace as viewed from their culture.
Through their participation in this project all the children will have the
opportunity to
share their ideas of peace with others, which will help nurture their roles as
global citizens.
This
will be
a cooperative project between
the Dayton International Peace Museum and the Lions Club International,
District 323 A2.
We invite/welcome affiliate clubs in
India and the United States to participate.
“Focus on Peace” was launched in India on 8th December 2007,
attended by Mr. Michael Owen, Consul General of the United Sates of America, at
St. Gregorios High School in Chembur, Mumbai.
