“Art of Peace is a place where I'm learning to understand the nature of our conflicts as a society and how to solve them peacefully. Looking back now, I see that it has taught me to understand the power I have to change things, even if it's just my own views. By doing activities like decoding articles and stories, I'm gaining skills like learning to not only accept that others may have views other than mine but also to understand why they might be thinking that way. These are important qualities I want in myself.”
