WHO WE ARE Kids Create Peace is an organization committed to bringing peace into the world through art and dialogue. Our mission is to produce a variety of artistic projects, created by children, that stimulate discussion and ideas with peace, interfaith and intercultural themes. We believe that this art and dialogue creates leadership in children, and can therefore greatly influence the generation to come. OUR VISION Imagine a world with no wars, no gangs, no violence...a world where people of all nations, religions and cultures live together in peace. How do we hold onto that vision in such a difficult time in the world? It takes vivid imagination, innovative thinking, a lot of dialogue, and the space to express our ideas. Ultimately, our best hope is improved understanding and relationships. At Kids Create Peace, we believe much of that hope lies in our young generation. If our kids have a place to express their desire for peace, they can create dialogue with one another and learn that their similarities greatly outweigh their differences. Our future world leaders need to be nurtured now, and given the space to explore what peace means to them. Children are living in a confusing time, and many feel they don't have a voice on issues of conflict. After all, they're not old enough to go to war, and many don't feel that they have much to contribute to their community at such a young age. But they have much to contribute. Their visions, their ideas, their hopes, and their fears need to be expressed now. This is how peace leaders are created...one child, one project at a time.
