PEACE PALS teaches children all over the world to think about peace in their everyday lives, and to put those thoughts into action by doing simple and small, yet powerful, things such as: saying a kind word to someone, helping a person in need, caring for animals, and respecting the environment. And on a global level, PEACE PALS gives children the opportunity to express and share their natural love and understanding of people around the world.

Through the PEACE PALS PROGRAM, and under the guidance of Peace Pal Coordinators, groups of children are encouraged to embrace the peace message in a sensorial way – through drawing and painting their visions of peace, writing Peace Messages and poems about peace, performing plays and dances about peace, and sharing their thoughts about peace in correspondence with children in other countries. Groups of children plant Peace Poles at their schools, community centers, churches, and even in their own backyards to help to keep the message alive. They also participate in World Peace Flag Ceremonies in which everyone gathers to present the flags of all nations in a collective intention for peace throughout the world.
