Synchronicity! Walked by this mural in Houston just before we made a presentation featuring young people who linked peacebuilding, hunger/food insecurity, 8 Pillars of Peace from Global Peace Index and the #UNSDGs. #ZeroHunger #peacebuilding #Houston #youthpeaceaction

Ouch. This sign in an urgent care clinic is an important but unfortunate reminder to keep calm . . . and keep the peace . . . please. #peace #kindness #tolerance

Love this - NewGen Peacebuilders from St. Joseph's Convent Secondary School, Saint Lucia at their graduation! 🎉 50+ students enrolled in YPA 2021-22 & one of their peace projects was featured at the YOUnited celebration. #youthpeaceaction #newgenpeace #studentled #peace

Faith’s a certified NewGen Peacebuilder making a difference as a summer intern. Her research as a UNC Greensboro Poli. Sci. major is providing valuable perspective on our My Peacebuilder Foundations course and how to promote peaceful schools. #youthpeaceaction #interns

Several teachers in our Summer Research Institute with the Charlotte Teachers Institute are working on 2022-23 lesson plans to link science, environmental sustainability, and peacebuilding. Share this new book to help with actionable ideas. #youthpeaceaction #environment

Safe enough for geese. Came upon this gas station in Birmingham, Alabama, where geese wander around, at peace, while busy drivers fill up. #geese #peace

Sign in Birmingham, Alabama … The whole quote from MLK continues “When we rise to love on the agape level, we love men not because we like them, not because their attitudes and ways appeal to us, but we love them because god loves them.” #MLK #Bham #Birmingham #Love #Peace

Collectively, we need to focus on stories that inspire understanding and empathy. Our hearts and brains are so tightly connected, studies have found, that when we hear the same story, our heart rates sync up. wsj.com/articles/story… via The Wall Street Journal Alliance for Peacebuilding Julia Roig ☮️

This #PeaceDay, we announced a MILESTONE. Up to 1,000 hs & clubs can sign up to access – for FREE – the My Peacebuilder Foundations course from Youth & Peace in Action! Thanks to Districts in Rotary Zones 33&34, it’s the largest youth peacebuilding initiative in the US! #youthpeaceaction
