War Toys to Peace Art
Check out this website http://wartoystopeaceart.com/about.html
This webiste is a non-profit society called "Promoting Cultures of Peace for Children" that is dedicated to bringing about a culture of peace for children.
"Acts of Transformation: from War Toys to Peace Art asks children and youth to surrender their war toys so that they may be transformed into works of art. Voluntary surrendering of a war toys is a conscience step towards a culture of peace. Decommissioning the toy is a mindful act that renders a violent toy to passive object. Transforming the object into a work of art is an action that promotes peace. The art inspires others towards a culture of peace."
Sounds like a really neat idea. I wondered if it can be adapted and applied to some aspect of youth culture in Canada.
