11. FRANCISKA, 1993, Budapest_


1. Imagine, what can bring more peace to our world?

If people wouldn’t be so self-centric and they would care about the others. I think everybody should find peace in their own mind. I mean, If people liked their lives, and they wouldn’t hurt others by their own injury. We often hurt people because we’ve been hurt before.

2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?

Envy, for example when a country want something (beach, or land) from another country, and they start a war. For a lot of people money is more important than the other person, and they do almost anything to get it. Jealousy can be another ostacle too.

In my class I’m trying to make the people (mainly the boys) get on well with each other. I don’t do big things, but I’m trying to keep peace in my own environment. I hate when I don’t get on well with somebody.

If people didn’t care so much about business and they didn’t believe in fictitious theories that make fight nations and religions against themselves, there wouldn’t be so much “war” in the everydays.

2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?

If little children see that politicians of the same country fight all the day, and that the government spends so much money to invent new weapons, as they grow up, they’ll have the same ambitions. Only parents and their social communities can change this.

3. Imagine, what have you done so far to promote peace in your own country?

I’ve been on protest marches, and I took part of the Peace Festival several times.

4. Imagine, what can you do in the future to promote peace in your own country?

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 17.Imry , 8.2.94 , Carmel Zvulun

1. Imagine, what can bring more peace to the world?

I think the most neccessary thing for world-wide peace ist hat people wont feel that they are higher or better than others just because they are from a different culture and a different religion. There has to be an understanding that all of the people are equivalent.

2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?

I think the main obstacles these days are racism and some organizations that take the law to their hands and attack certain countries or minorities. There are also organizations who are financed from weapon selling and therefore they support wars.

31. Mia, Vienna

1. Imagine,what can bring more peace to our world?

I think the most important thing is that we work together. If we don´t work together,we won´t find any solutions.
Also important is that we discuss problems. If we talk about problems and search for solutions,we would maybe find one.

2.Imagine,what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?

I think that there is mostly not enough time to discuss problems. Money could also be an important factor,becouse it costs money to arrange meetings.
And sometimes,the people aren´t ready to discuss unhurriedly.

I haven´t done many things so far to promote peace,becouse I haven´t given some thought to what I can do.

One day,my teacher said: " The metter must not rest there.Do someone have an idea how we can solve this problem?"
I raised my hand and said: "Yes.The boys should discuss on their own,how they can solve the problem."
No sooner said than done.
The boys spoke together and promised to each other to live in peace.

I think,that´s a good example,how we can promote peace.
