4B The Peace POD
Students prepare materials for a Peace POD to be sent to a school in another country and invite that school to reciprocate.

Once Peace PODs have been exchanged, the materials received can be used to put on a display as part of your school’s Peace Day activities. This is an opportunity to celebrate diversity at your school and for young people to express their own unique cultural perspectives.
