Changemaker's Mission: Everyday Peacebuilders
What is this project about?
This September, we celebrate the International Day of Peace in classrooms. Ask your students: what can your class do to bring more peace to school? Then guide them to create a small action that shows their commitment. It could be a drawing, a mural, a class promise, or any format they choose. One question, and your classroom connects with others around the world doing the same. Note: When sharing photos or videos, protect students' identities. Show hands, work, or backs of heads, not faces.

Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to identify and describe everyday actions that can bring more peace to their school, and explain why these small actions matter.
Students will be able to demonstrate one of these peace-building actions through a creative resource and share it with international peers in a clear and respectful way.
Students will be able to compare the everyday peace actions shared by their international partners, evaluating how learning about other schools changes or grows their own understanding of peaceful coexistence.
Skills to develop
Project Activities
Talk
The teacher opens with the three everyday categories of peace and invites students to think of a moment when they, or someone they know, acted as an “everyday peacebuilder” at school: through kindness, through solving a conflict, or through including someone. Guide the reflection on why these small daily actions matter, being careful not to reduce peace to simply “the absence of conflict.” Video reflection: https://youtu.be/y53bAa_WKLM?si=kz8qC2MUtHw9H9AG
Create
Students choose one everyday peace action they can take at school and create a resource that shows it: a collective mural or poster (photographed), a cardboard-and-modeling-clay model, or a drawing. They upload a photo or video of it to the Gallery.
Share and Explore
Students explore the Gallery to discover what everyday peace actions classrooms in other countries imagined, comparing similarities and differences in how peace looks in schools around the world.

As a teacher, seeing my engineering students step out of their technical comfort zones to passionately sketch historical memories and reflect on social values was deeply inspiring, proving that education is most powerful when it connects technical skills with empathy and human purpose.

Students of the 10th "A" grade from Moldova participated in the mission. In the lesson "Peace in My School Environment," students discussed the topic, watched the cartoon "Be Kind", learnt how they could resolve conflicts peacefully, and created posters. During the lesson, they worked with inspiration and respected each other's opinions. This mission has become a great lesson for them

Como docente, este proyecto vale la pena porque me permite escuchar a mis estudiantes, reconocer sus ideas y darles un espacio para expresarse sobre una realidad que viven diariamente. El podcast convierte la enseñanza de la paz en una experiencia cercana, donde los estudiantes reflexionan sobre la convivencia y descubren que sus acciones pueden contribuir a transformar la escuela. Además, me recuerda que educar para la paz no consiste solamente en hablar de valores, sino en crear espacios para vivirlos y construirlos juntos.

Teaching Moral Science to young students was a joyful and meaningful experience. The students listened to the story with great interest and enjoyed learning through pictures and discussion. I was happy to see them understand values like **kindness, patience, honesty, hard work, and humility**. This experience reminded me that simple stories can help children develop good habits and positive values in everyday life.
