Opener:
• Introduce the idea of Peace One Day, Jeremy Gilley’s journey and Peace Day 21 September. • There are films and supporting information at
www.peaceoneday.org • Introduce the idea of a school project for Peace Day.
Teacher/Learner Activity 1:
• To prepare, gather straws/skewers, pencils or wooden dowels to use for the pinwheel stick. You will need one for each pinwheel. You should also have ready some pins or pipe cleaners to attach the pinwheels to the sticks.
• To open the lesson, discuss with the students “What is peace?” prompting with questions such as “What does peace mean to you?” and “What does peace look like?”
• Show students the Pinwheels for Peace website, the pinwheel gallery and the locations of those who have registered to participate.
• Once students have a clear idea of the project, hand out copies of the Pinwheel for Peace Template and Instructions.
• Ask students to follow the instructions on the resource sheet to produce a personalised pinwheel.
• Ask students to brainstorm words and images that can be used to decorate the pinwheels, representing, for example: peace, non-violence, anti-bullying, friendship, intercultural cooperation etc.
• Students finish by brainstorming where they think would be the best place for their pinwheel installation, what plans need to be made for the event and how best to generate interest.
Teacher/Learner Activity 2:
• Students could become involved in the preparation, set-up and/or hosting of the event. This might involve: producing an information / welcome sign to sit alongside their installation, being aware of any permissions needed, and health and safety considerations.
• Students might like to produce flyers to publicise the installation. • Close to, or on Peace Day, students should ‘plant’ their pinwheels in a public space, becoming a part of the Pinwheels for Peace worldwide art installation.
• On the day of the event, capture photos of the installation to share on the Pinwheels for Peace website, logging your location details and number of pinwheels.
Reflection/Ideas to Discuss: After the event, ask students to share their thoughts about the project.
• How can art help to spread ideas? • Was the Pinwheels for Peace installation successful in helping to spread the message of Peace Day?
• Ask students to visit the Pinwheels for Peace website to find out how many people were involved on Peace Day this year, and in how many countries.
• How can your school help increase the reach of the project for next year? E.g. were there any countries where no pinwheels were planted? Can you make contact with a school in one of those countries and encourage them to get involved?
