Look at the world around you, how do you think the world could be a little bit better?
What things should be different to make a good world for ALL living things?
What are your dreams?

Art: "Peace", by Anni from Italy , 2002

What other students dream about...

Lynzee from United States : i guess i want the world to be way more friendly and way less poluted
Hana from Singapore : I want the world to have peace..i want everyone to show kindness and respect towards each others nation and religion..We should make the world a better place by working together and strive for progress...
Katie from Australia : I would like to see everyone in the world experiense equal rights. Everyone in every country no matter the colour of the skin, or what religion they have should be free to be who they are without fear of descrimination or getting killed. Men and women should be equal. All races should be equal. We should kill less animals - only those that we need to. We should cut down less trees. I think there should be no more wars. I think people that we think are crazy, should be given better lives. I think politicians should stop running the world - they should just be a mouthpiece for the people they are supposed to serve, when they are not right now.
Shinjinee from India
I would like to see more tolerance among people; they should be appreciative of others viewpoints. I would like to see more participation of elderly people towards environmental conservation as they can show youngsters that even though the former's days are numbered they are trying to leave a cleaner environment for us - this message will filter down to the younger generation more potently.
