[Peace-discuss] [SDaS] 4th of July / AWARE's twist on the theme is "Celebrating the World's Youth" / help on the idea, please

[Elizabeth Simpson]

hi folks-

these ideas make sense to explore the impact of war on children, but they don't seem to celebrate youth... so maybe you actually mean a different theme? Like recognizing the impact?

Celebrating youth might look like children who have made efforts to oppose war or do other projects that promote peace/oppose state violence

 

Best to you, 
elizaBeth

Hello All Friends of AWARE,

The them of the 4th of July parade in Champaign-Urbana is "Celebrating
our Youth"

AWARE's twist on the theme is "Celebrating the World's Youth".

One brainstorm idea that came up:  How about a stretcher with a child
victim of war on it? A victim in war zone / an orphan of war / and a
child with an absent soldier parent. Three stretchers?

Doesn't have to be a child on the stretcher, but something that
represents a child, like toys, or a doll, or something.

Basically, we need your ideas and help!!!!
