Peace is...
(by class 3°A, 1° Circolo Didattico "S. Giovanni Bosco", IT)

 

To care about your parents is a power,
Like touching a flower.
To have love for companies,
Begins by being friendly as babies.
To give hugs to the people who are in needs,
And respecting the beauty of nature by your feet’s.
Give a kiss for a grandfather passing by,
While looking at the rainbow in the sky.
Be kind to the fellow beings by their bone,
And make sure to join in company the one who are alone.
Cheer the people, who are sad,
And give some happiness to the people who feel bad.

I dream of...
(by class IV B, 1° Circolo Didattico "S. Giovanni Bosco", IT)

 

 

I dream of a world in peace!
A world where there is no war – only love,
To bring that message is a dove.

I dream of seeing children play,
Hand in hand, they lay.
I dream of seeing a blue sky,
Friendly clouds are passing by.

Rains with hearts and a flower,
Ends with a smile of power.
I dream of seeing a dove flying up high,
Leaving a beautiful rainbow behind.

In this world I dream of living,
Help me with that and don’t destroy my dreams made of hope and giving!

 

 

What is peace?
(by class IV D, 1° Circolo Didattico "S. Giovanni Bosco", IT)

A friend once asked me what peace is…
To explain it to him, I simply said:

Be friendly to one another
And shake hands to with the people you meet

I told him to help people who are in problems
And join the lonely people in company

It's also Important to respect others things
And lend people what they need

To comfort others when they are sad
And of course I told him that being violent isn't peace

At last I drew a rainbow of a thousand colors with him
And then my friend understood what peace is all about.

Wir
(Class 5b, Dunant-Grundschule Berlin, DE)

 

 

Wir von Irmela Brender Ich bin ich und du bist du. Wenn ich rede, hörst du zu. Wenn du sprichst, dann bin ich still, weil ich dich verstehen will. Wenn du fällst, helf' ich dir auf, und du fängst mich, wenn ich lauf. Wenn du kickst, steh ich im Tor, pfeif ich Angriff, schießt du vor. Spielst du pong, dann spiel ich ping, und du trommelst, wenn ich sing. Allein kann keiner diese Sachen, zusammen können wir viel machen. Ich mit dir und du mit mir - das sind wir.

We by Irmela Brender I am I and you are you. When you speak I listen to you. When you speak I am all alert, Because I want to understand every word. When you fall down I help you up, And when I run you catch me with a hug. When you kick the ball I am in the goal When I say “attack” you hit the pole. When you play “pong” then I play “ping”, And you play the drums when I want to sing. All by himself nobody can do all these things, Together, however, we are fit for the kings. Me with you and you with me – That is we.

 

 

Friede
(Kai 6a / Joshua 6b, Dunant-Grundschule Berlin, DE)

 

 

Friede von Josef Reding „Bloß keinen Zank und keinen Streit!“ Das heißt auf englisch ganz einfach PEACE und auf französisch PAIX und auf russisch MIR und auf hebräisch SHALOM und auf deutsch FRIEDE Oder: Du komm, lass uns zusammen spielen, zusammen sprechen, zusammen singen, zusammen essen, zusammen trinken und zusammen leben, DAMIT WIR LEBEN.

Peace by Josef Reding “No trouble and strife, please!” In English that’s simply PEACE and in French PAIX and in Russian MIR and in Hebrew SHALOM and in German FRIEDE Or: Hey, come on, let’s play together, let’s talk together, let’s sing together let’s eat together, let’s drink together, let’s live together, SO THAT WE ACTUALLY LIVE!

 

 

La paix est plus que pas de guerre
(French course, 6th grade, Dunant-Grundschule Berlin, DE)

 

 

La paix est plus que pas de guerre

Si tu crois
          qu’un sourire est plus fort qu’une arme,
Si tu crois
         à la puissance d’une main offerte,
Si tu crois
         que ce qui rassemble les hommes est plus important que ce qui les divise,
Si tu crois
         qu’être différent est une richesse et non un danger,
Si tu sais
         regarder l’autre avec un brin d’amour,
Si tu sais
         préférer l’espérance au soupçon,

Alors la paix viendra!


Frieden ist mehr als kein Krieg

Wenn du glaubst,
         dass ein Lächeln stärker ist als eine Waffe,
Wenn du
         an die Macht einer ausgestreckten Hand glaubst,
Wenn du glaubst,
         dass das, was die Menschen verbindet, wichtiger ist als das, was sie trennt,
Wenn du glaubst,
         dass verschieden sein eine Bereicherung ist und keine Gefahr,
Wenn du es schaffst,
         den Anderen mit etwas Liebe zu sehen,
Wenn du es schaffst,
         Zuversicht und Hoffnung wichtiger zu nehmen als Verdächtigungen,

Dann kommt der Frieden!


Peace is more than just no war

If you believe
         that a smile is stronger than a weapon,
If you believe
         in the power of an extended hand,
If you believe
         that things which unite men are more important than those which separate,
If you believe
         That being different is a gain and not a threat,
If you can manage
         to look at others with love,
If you can manage
         to take confidence and hope more seriously than suspicion,

Then peace will come!
