Practicing Peace with Children through Community Peace Libraries
Presentation Raissa Avery Marfa
Explore how children in the community embrace peace through our peace library, where young minds read, listen, and interact with curated stories that exemplify behaviours that foster cultures of peace and justice. Discover the gentle influence of our peace library, which encourages children to embody peace within their community.
