 Conflict and peace

What does peace mean?

Aim: To think about what the word 'peace' means.
You will need: A group of people.
Duration: 15 minutes

Sit in a big circle. Ask the group what they think the word peace means. Ask individuals to act out a mime of the words they suggest. Encourage them to think of positive words, not just about the absence of war.

Here are some suggestions to help if they get stuck: Happiness, friends, family, quiet, sleep, safety, love, making up, saying sorry, living together, community, caring, calm, silence.

You could recap and get everyone to join in by repeating some of the words, and getting everyone to mime the actions together.
