My
Country at the Crossroads to Peace
It
is an obvious factor that there is chaos and disruption or war in most
of the countries in the world. If we are sensitive to the root causes
of this turmoils there is no immediate solution. Your country may not
be directly involved in war with another country but the unrest in the
region may affect your country indirectly. So the best solution is to
create a deep inspiration in the hearts of our young people that first
of all we must be peaceful persons and peace conscious people. This
project encourages students to discuss issues with regard to different
ways their countries are affected at the cross roads to world peace.
Some may be politically affected some may be economically affected some
may be socially and culturally affected.The students can write verse
or prose pertaining to issues relating to unpeaceful situations in the
world and in their own country. They can also write short stories based
on the similar themes.
An action component of this project is
MISSION SLYIA (Sri Lankan Youth in Action), a gift from Sri Lankan
youth to the youth worldwide to provide an example for other youth groups
globally of how to start an active, action oriented, youth group.
