Communication for peace and conflict resolution: This taught the kids how to communicate effectively and resolve conflict peacefully. This helped to address the culture of violence and conflict in the region.

Plays/poems about peace and conflict resolution: These activities were used to raise awareness about peace and conflict resolution and promote a culture of peace. This will help to change the mindset of the kids in the region and create a more peaceful environment.

Sports and arts activities that promote peace and conflict resolution: These activities helped the kids develop their physical and emotional health, while also promoting peace and conflict resolution.
