Day 6: One World Project

One of the keys to peacebuilding is to rethink, reevaluate and change behaviour patterns that validate violence: be it violence at a personal, social, or interpersonal level.

This group of inspiring young minds worked on questioning their own habits, recognized those that contributed to violence, healed traumas underlying some of those habits, and treated themselves with compassion.

Only children are capable of a brutally beautiful kind of honesty: habits that adults would never admit to having nurtured, habits that grownups would desperately disown in public while indulging in private, and habits that adults gaslight/shame children about. They set themselves free of their emotional burdens, and gave themselves the compassion to be their raw, human selves.
