=PEACE PROJECT 2007=

"We draw illustrations with our prayer for world peace."


A virtual [|AEC-NET] project between European and Asian students. Peace Project 2007 is the 4th year of this Award-winning project. In this project students write stories and poems about peace, exchange them with others, who in their turn illustrate other students’ written work. This simple format allows the integration of language and arts, and also the participation of students of varying ages and levels of English. All the work produced can be found by following the sidebar navigation links.
 * AIMS:**
 * To raise awareness among the youth of today about the trials and tribulations faced by war torn countries
 * To encourage communication among participants through e-mails and forum entries
 * To encourage our youth to think and express opinions on current world issues related to war and peace
 * To use illustrations and other forms of art to depict their feelings about peace
 * To instill better understanding between young students in different countries, and to find ways to a more peaceful future on Earth

To raise students’ motivation, we also had a cuddly Peace Teddy traveling from school to school. Please follow the sidebar navigation link to read about his travels and wonderful adventures in Europe and Asia.
 * SPECIAL FEATURE: Peace Bear Junior**

An open source Moodle platform was used for the project work.
