peace 4 one

Hello! I'm Pyeongon, a teacher who loves peace. 😊   I believe that the power to change the world doesn't always begin with something grand. Some people start a simple conversation. Others create opportunities to learn. And some become bridges that connect people from different backgrounds. Today, I'd like to share a heartwarming story of peace about young people in Cambodia who are making a difference.   Like the story I shared previously about New Zealand youth coming together through sports, this time the focus is on young people promoting peace through language and education. As both a teacher and a mother, I was deeply moved by the meaningful partnership that the Khmer Youth Association (KYA) and the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) are building together, and I'd love to share their story with you. 🌏 👥 A Space Where Cambodian Youth Can Grow: Khmer Youth Association (KYA)   The organization at the heart of today's story is the K...

Hello everyone!   While news headlines are often filled with stories of conflict and division, I recently came across a heartwarming article that reminded me there are also stories that bring people together. It was about IPYG (International Peace Youth Group)'s “Youth Peace Sports Day,” held in Auckland, New Zealand—the beautiful country known for its breathtaking natural landscapes. As I read the article, I found myself smiling as I imagined young people laughing, playing, and connecting with one another.   Although I wasn't there in person, the photos and stories showed how something as simple as a ball can become a powerful bridge—breaking down barriers and bringing people closer together. Today, I'd like to share this inspiring story of peace from New Zealand. 🌏 🧶 Weaving People Together: A Youth Peace Story from New Zealand   According to the report, a special event took place on April 18 at Synergy Sports Centre in New Lynn, Auckland.

Today, I'd like to share my thoughts as both a teacher and a mother after reading about the HWPL World Christian Peace Academy (ICPA) held in Lusaka, Zambia. Although I wasn't there in person, the photos and reports shared by the media left a strong impression on me as they showed people from different backgrounds taking steps toward peace together.

Hello everyone 😊   Today, I'd like to share an inspiring international story that has stayed with me for quite some time. These days, we often come across news about conflicts and hate crimes that arise from differences in religion, race, and culture.   This made me wonder: How can we better understand one another and build safer, more inclusive communities?   Recently, I came across a meaningful initiative in London, where young people and citizens are working together to find answers to this very question. Today, I'd like to share the story of the third Citizens' Dialogue held as part of the "Safe Communities Project" organized by IPYG UK's YEPW.     🌍 YEPW Citizens' Dialogue in the UK: Exploring the Root Causes of Conflict Together   The dialogue was held both online and offline on February 21 at St. Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace in London, bringing together 101 participants. Citizens from more than ...
