If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children. - Mahatma Gandhi

Children throughout the world are affected by war. During previous world wars 90% of the victims were the soldiers in the war. In today's wars 90% of the victims are women and children. Modern wars rely more on air raids and bombing which is indiscriminate of it's victims. How do children feel who have experienced war? How do children feel who may be called to fight a war in a region of the world that they know nothing of? How do we get the children in one nation talking to children in other nations?

Instilling art and literature will bring about knowledge the children of this world. To teach children at a young age, that by respecting the rights and dignity of each human being, making sure that progress and development are good for everyone and for the environment, and by developing attitudes and skills for living together in harmony, putting an end to exclusion and oppression.
