Kids for peace

Kids For Peace is a living growing international interactive arts program committed to developing the important threads of inter-group cooperation that is essential for peace and co-existence among human beings worldwide.
Families and kids have the opportunity to explore the creative process and celebrate their rich ethnic diversity with free quality educational inter-media arts workshops. People of all ages and gender,come together to work on these projects to create art that is meaningful to them and the viewer.
This project, Kids For Peace founded and directed by artist Gayle Gale is currently collaborating with FOJAC/Barnsdall Arts and the Center for Jewish Culture and Creativity. Gayle brings to this project her experience in coordinating and directing international large scale community based art activities. Funding for the project is provided by institutions, foundations and private sources. Kids For Peace is currently seeking funding and collaborating organizations that have a similar purpose.

I found the new URL for this website in case people are having trouble accessing it: http://www.kidsforpeaceusa.org/contact.html - at least I think it is the same organisation. I think it is a wonderful thing they are doing. I am beginning a PhD looking at how "art" (broadly defined) could potentially contribute to peacebuilding amongst Indigenous people here in Australia, but do not have a background in art (my background is in human geography and anthropology, as well as environmental science), so I would greatly appreciate any input people can give me (regarding how art has been used, particularly with Indigenous groups, to build peace and strong communities, how it can address discrimination and social injustice, etc). Down the track the art school that I am working under (at the University of New South Wales in Sydney) might be interested in supporting kids for peace somehow, but I'm just new so I'm not sure how it all works. I would love some ideas, references, examples from people about why art matters in peacebuilding (compared to, for example, more "technical" policy-based and discussion-based approaches which seem to be preferred by governments, etc).
Thank you so much!

YES, this organisation deserves strong support; it sounds positive since children are neutral although they suffer wars attrocities without knowing the reason: they are orphaned, killed, obliged to live out their families without food, clothes, water, medical care, forced to enroll in wars and be trained to kill...the cry and no one is ready to listen to them. Now 'kids for peace' will be meant to educate these children on how they can live on apeaceful land with various communities. Education is the key to peace. Children must be taught from the early age to respect human life and dignity and thus they grow up knowing that life is sacred, that a lonely person is weak if isolated from the community, that solidarity is constructive, that we all were created in the image of God and we have right to live.
