Help increase public
knowledge of the negative effects of war, of the lies and manipulations that
might seem to justify war. Ideas:
find
Kidlink kids
living in countries at war, or in countries where a war has recently ended.
Listen to their personal stories. Good stories may be of interest to your
collaborators in the
journalists/writers
community. For example, they might combine good personal stories with dry
statistics of the number of kids against war to make a more readable text
or interview or show.
monitor what your local
news say about ongoing wars. Check with alternative sources to see if the
news is correct, or misleading and manipulating. Contact the news media to
have mistakes corrected, or complain by sending an article to your local
newspaper.
help your schoolmates
get a clear idea of what is happening. Your class or school magazine/newspaper
may be an effective means. Do not give up. We must fight together for a better
world!
