A group of 4-year-old students from Ďă˝¶´«Ă˝â€™s Karen Slattery Educational Research Center for Child Development advocated for peace on FAU’s Free Speech Lawn.

The children held up signs and handed out cards they designed with a variety of messages about promoting peace in the world. The preschoolers also interviewed FAU college students and faculty about their beliefs on peace and compared responses with their own. A “Peace Table” was used to encourage people to resolve conflicts through peaceful communication with each other.

The event was part of the curriculum at Slattery, where the 4 year olds are currently learning about global peace. Last year, children from the center advocated on behalf of animal rights.

The hashtag #PreschoolersForPeace also was used to further promote the 4-year-olds’ peace activities throughout all of social media.
