We asked children: Why Peace? 🕊

Children’s voices deserve to be heard every day. Through this conference, we celebrate children’s right to participate, share their experiences and contribute their ideas for a better future. By listening to children and valuing their perspectives, we take meaningful steps towards building a world rooted in respect, inclusion and peace.

🪁 Darba Waħda fil-Villaġġ – Ħal Safi

Ġurnata mimlija tagħlim, skoperti u esperjenzi ġodda għat-tfal f’Ħal Safi! Permezz ta’ żjarat għand nies tas-sengħa u persuni li għandhom għal qalbhom il-wirt lokali, żjara fil-knisja parrokkjali u fil-Ġnien Sir Alexander Ball, it-tfal kellhom l-opportunità jsiru jafu aktar dwar l-istorja, it-tradizzjonijiet u n-natura tar-raħal.

U ovvjament, ma naqsitx l-attività prattika fejn għamlu t-tajra tagħhom! 🪁💛

🪁 Once Upon a Village – Safi

A day full of learning, discovery and new experiences for the children in Safi! Through visits to local craftspeople and collectors, the parish church and Sir Alexander Ball Garden, the children had the opportunity to learn more about the village’s history, traditions and nature.

And of course, the day wouldn't be complete without a hands-on kite-making activity! 🪁💛

Peace is built through people, experiences and the choices we make.

The Human Library of Peacebuilders will offer participants an opportunity to hear personal stories, exchange perspectives and reflect on what it means to work towards peace. We are pleased to feature Fr Dionysius Mintoff as part of this initiative.

Peace is not only an idea; it is something we can practise through our everyday actions.

In our Peace Conference (25-29 Nov), the workshop “Small Ripples, Big Waves: Action for Peace in the Everyday” will explore how small actions can contribute to positive change. The session features keynote speaker Mr Mark Cachia, with Mr Matthew Pellicano facilitating the children’s workshop and Ms Valentina Vitali and Ms Hamida Jridi facilitating the adults’ workshop.

We are pleased to highlight Commissioner Glenn Micallef, European Commissioner for Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport, as part of the Mediterranean Children’s Movement: Peace Conference 2026. Building a culture of peace means creating space for young people to participate meaningfully in decisions that affect their present and future.

Children are not just the future; they are active citizens of today.

Through the Mediterranean Children’s Movement: Peace Conference 2026, we are creating opportunities for children and young people to express themselves, exchange ideas and contribute to conversations about peace. Their perspectives matter, and meaningful participation begins when we make the time to listen and take their ideas seriously.

07/11/2026

Every journey towards peace is shaped by personal experiences, lessons and hopes for a better future.

The Human Library of Peacebuilders creates a space for meaningful dialogue, where participants can discover different perspectives, exchange ideas and learn from the people behind the stories.

We are honoured to welcome Prof. Makram Khoury-Machool, who will share his perspective as part of this inspiring exchange.

06/11/2026

What does peace mean to children and young people? We asked children to share their thoughts, feelings and hopes, and their answers remind us that peace can mean many things — from feeling safe and accepted to living in a world filled with kindness and understanding. Through “Connected by Sea, for Peace”, we are giving space to their voices and the meaning they give to peace.
