Kites for Peace
Let our skies fill with colour!
Winds of Peace
This activity invites you to make kites that convey a message of peace. Each kite can speak of peace through its shape, design or a heartfelt phrase.
The best moment? Seeing them fly together in a public place, creating a display of colour and freedom that can inspire everyone who watches.
‘You, where you live, and I here — the same wind will embrace us…’
The initiative is promoted by Mimos para tu Ojos in close partnership with Living Peace International.
