This can be a very valuable and eye-opening exercise that can be done with all ages, child to adult. There are many definitions of peace in the world, some academic, others emotional, and many in between. The purpose of asking people their definition is to get them to reflect on the concept and what it means to them, and how they can infuse peace into their life and the lives of others. It also serves the purpose to show others that peace is more than just a symbol or a song, but a conscious endeavor that takes effort and commitment throughout one’s lifetime.
