Choose one of these topics
1. Tell the story of a peacemaker you know and how they have made a difference to you. How did they change your way of thinking and being? How did they make a more peaceful or compassionate situation for you? Help us see what actually happened to you, and what the peacemaker specifically did.
Please choose someone you know personally, unless the ideas and life of someone you don’t know has significantly changed your life. Use specific details. Use your own unique voice.
2. Choose a work of art that makes a strong statement about violence, nonviolence, or the essence of peace. It must also have a strong connection to your own life and experiences. Write about the meaning of the art for you, telling the personal story or stories that the art illuminates. Art comes in many forms and includes both visual (painting, drawings, and photography) and multimodal forms. Again, use specific details. Use your own unique voice.
If possible, include the URL to the artwork or performance.
