The Koinonia
Community Outreach Center (KCOC) will be hosting
the “Atlanta Peace Mobile” for
a fun week of activities designed to help children
explore concepts of peace. The Atlanta Peace
Mobile is a unique traveling museum with a fantastic
array of interactive, hands-on exhibits including
arts and crafts, puppetry, computer programs,
brass etching, giant puzzles and more. The Peace
Mobile creates learning experiences that encourage
all visitors (both young and old) to touch, ponder
and experiment as they explore the many ideas
and techniques for building a peaceful world.
The week
will culminate on Saturday, June 19th, with
an open house Peace Festival for visitors of
all ages (adults, children & families).
Four aspects of peace will be emphasized:
PEACE FOR
ME (Inner Peace) - helps children
discover the wonder and beauty within themselves,
where peace must begin. Self-esteem, uniqueness,
self-confidence, and emotions are explored.
PEACE FOR
US - explores daily relationships
of family and friends, stressing cooperation,
teamwork, respect for all, conflict resolution,
mediation, and communication.
PEACE FOR
EVERYONE - encourages children to
examine the possibilities for peace within groups,
including cultural appreciation and diversity.
A world view of understanding others and their
ways of living is presented.
PEACE
FOR THE PLANET - stewardship of God’s
creation, planetary care, environmental appreciation,
ecology and respect for nature are explored in
educational and fun exhibits.
