We began our Day of Peace Celebration with a presentation of our giant peace dove and an overview of Roots & Shoots for a group of adults discussing peace in a library sponsored event, “Peace and the Common Thread.” We played Dr. Jane’s speech about peace doves from Dana Lyons’s “Circle the World CD,” as well as the title song. Our group then paraded the peace dove outside through the Green Building
Expo that was happening next door. We wished people a “Happy International Day of Peace” and handed out flyers inviting families to our celebration. Our parade was followed by a photographer from the East Valley Tribune, where our photos appeared the next day. Back inside at the library, we led craft tables, including origami paper cranes, earth friendly art with Magic Nuudles, materials for the Peace Pals art competition, and a peace in many languages project. We also hosted a screening of the movie,
“The End of Suburbia”, followed by a discussion of the movie’s implications for teaching and practicing peace.
