Pupils make their own kites and send your message of hope for peace into the skies… In Afghanistan, where flying kites has great cultural significance, the perfect kite-flying weather also provides perfect conditions for the drones, whose bombs have left children fearful when they play. Afghan Peace Volunteers began Fly Kites Not Drones as a nonviolent way to call for peace. This is Workshop 4 of Fly Kites Not Drones. See more at www.flykitesnotdrones.org

To end all wars? This INSPIRE project plan is for a 30-minute introduction to World War I Remembrance. It can be used as an assembly or at the beginning of a poppy-making workshop. You could use it during Remembrance or, better yet, for thinking about peacemaking in your school. It also contains a challenge: what will you do to make peace in the next 100 years? The content can be used with ages 9 and above. The follow-up poppy-making activity is for all ages. 2020 NOTE: The Collateral Damage Project is now over but, people are doing window displays of white poppies and posting online Aims:** ** to explore the history of war from World War I to the present day to inspire action to prevent war and build peace (extension) to make a poppy as a symbol of Remembrance for peace.
