Interactive course to teach Communal Harmony and Conflict Resolution to Kids | Fusion - WeRIndia

This interactive course is aimed at teaching kids to respect each other and make judgment about others without getting influenced from other aspects of society. The course uses multimedia tools, literary pieces, and films.

There were many riots in our country that happened due to communal differences and the lack of respect of others. In 2002, after the deadly riot of Godhara train burning incident witnessed by Gujarat, a group has dedicated themselves to prevent this violence.

And thus was born PeaceWorks initiative. It was launched in the year 2003 to impart education to people with difference. They try to make kids understand how important it is to respect others. They teach this through art.

Megha Malhotra, director, PeaceWorks states that art is a medium through which kids can understand each other’s landscapes and identity. Art is beyond boundaries and friction, and can create empathy in hearts.

The mission of PeaceWorks is to sensitive people regarding the concept of war and riots which are happening around them. They try to create awareness about the vital role people can play in ending them.
