The Peace Fair looks at and celebrates the growing
interest around the world to create a new culture
based on compassion and sustainable practices, one
that grows as we learn to treat ourselves, each
other and our natural resources with love rather
than dominance.
Local artists, poets, activists and musicians offer
many activities that are fun for the whole family.
This year’s Fair has chosen the theme “Children Ask
the World of Us”, a statement taken from Woman’s
Action for Nuclear Disarmament. Looking, also, at
the UNESCO Culture of Peace Document, we pose the
following questions for all of us to consider:
How shall we teach them?
shall we keep them safe from war and violence?
How shall we protect the Earth for them?
How shall we feed them?
How shall we keep them healthy?
How shall we ensure a compassionate society?
Instead of individual tablers as we’ve had in past
years, a circle of organizations will form around
each of these questions. The circles will attract
the attention of passersby with brightly colored
banners designed by local artists. Circle
participants will offer all sorts of activities
designed for fun and to engage Fair goers in
envisioning a future in which all children can
thrive. In addition, facilitated Conversations
will invite everyone to make connections among the
six questions. And all through the day there will
be musicians and presentations, poetry writing
workshops, games and crafts, dancing to local
bands, even rides in an ox drawn cart to round out
the Fair.
Don't miss it - We'll be looking for you! Cathey
