As I was taking a break from my research I came across this wonderful company through my Facebook feed.
"Picture This" is a company that allows children to design their own t-shirt or dress and then it is made exactly as they have drawn it. It allows the children to express themselves, their creativity and to wear their own designs with pride.
I am so inspired by this and would love to include something similar as part of my Peace education goal.
If the children could design a t-shirt that is inspired by their learning and to spread their own personal peace 'message' it would be fantastic!
I was already thinking that I would like to include forms of artistic expression into my ideas and I think that this could really work! I believe that as many of these children have experienced great trauma in their short lives, that allowing them to express their emotions and creativity could really help them to heal and grow as individuals in tough surroundings. Exploring ideas through art is less confronting for these children and can also help in a therapeutic manner.
The t-shirt could then even function as a school uniform!
I am also considering options for painting murals or creating sustainable sculptures within the camp to make a more positive community space.
