Recent studies have indicated that peace education in childhood is the foundation for building more harmonious and inclusive societies (Paterson-Young, 2024; UNICEF, 2015). When children are taught vocabulary that articulates unity, optimism, and empathy, they are more likely to develop prosocial values and strengthen community bonds (Paterson-Young, 2024; Kasapçopur, 2024). Furthermore, according to Bar-Tal and Rosen (2009), studies show that the words children use to describe peace shape their worldview, justice orientation, and their capacity to live in harmony with others. Simple classroom activities where children define “peace” in their own words have also been shown to encourage inclusive and compassionate environments (UNICEF, 2015).

​

Therefore, a Children’s Dictionary of World Peace is not only informative but will serve as a developmental tool to empower children with the capacity to live peacefully with others. By giving students these intentionally chosen words, definitions, example sentences, and images, we are not merely teaching language; we are teaching kindness, emotional intelligence, systems thinking, non-judgment, and ultimately planting seeds of peace and human flourishing.

We are grateful for your support and use of this revolutionary material to mold each student into an agent of peace in this generation and the next.
