Title: Talking Kites All Over the World
  • Summary: A tradition of flying kites with personal and group images of our dreams for a better world.
  • Facilitator Name: Ruty_Hotzen
  • Country: Israel
  • Languages: English
  • Student Age Level: 5-11, 12-14, 15-18
  • Contributions: Being a part of a universal movement for co-existence and tolerance and participating in projects that include people from all over the world may contribute to the internalization of the above values and to the self-empowerment of the participants. The more children will participate in such a movement and receive such education the better this world will be.
  • Outcomes: The main outcome is the enhancement of important values, such as tolerance, acceptance of the "other", co-existence, listening, choosing dialog over force, universal solidarity etc. Also the workshops offer a satisfying venue for expressing feeling that is more acceptable and fruitful than violence.

Background: Students make kites to fly as a massive tribute dedicated to advancing the cultural and social dialog, a symbol of bridging the gap and understanding the "other." This will hopefully become a continuous tradition of flying kites with personal and group images of our dreams for a better world, a world of co-existence, tolerance, acceptance of the "other" and peace.
