VISIONS OF PEACE MURAL
The 5th grade students at Linden STEM Academy in Columbus, OH will explore ideas of peace, from inner peace, to world peace,to peace in art and music. We will learn how we can be a stand for peace in our school, home, community and inner self. We will learn about peacemakers worldwide and conflict resolution for personal disputes.
Using an interdisciplinary method of exploring and gather data, we will design a mural illustrating our visions of peace and the needs of the community as a whole. The mural will be painted in the school and eventually in the community in a visible place. We will finalize the project with an “unveiling” event designed to promote peace in the community and to highlight the creativity of Linden Leopard artists!
DEAR WORLD IT’S ME
Because we believe a change of perspective will change the world, we want the world through children’s eyes to be visible. One way we aim to do this is by posting letters, videos and drawings online submitted by the youth all around the world.

LOUDLABS
LOUDLabs are a way for us to create a fun, empowering and engaging open dialogue so that workshop participants are able to fully express themselves in ways that are not usually supported by typical school curriculum. Most LOUDLabs participants are marginalized youth who normally don’t have access to modern tools and techinques. Although sometimes the most simple workshop elements provide the largest impact both for participants and facilitators because while each LOUDLab is tailored for specific locations and participants, the goal is to have fun while learning about each other.
We also include the community as much as possible during LOUDLab visits because we aim to gather local wisdom such as social and agricultural practices which we want to document and share with the world as well as integrating a sharing of information between elders and children of the community.
