Children's Voices

Children are not only the future of peace. They are part of creating it today.

This is where the two pathways meet. Children in Peace Schools share their questions, reflections and proposals for peace — and political leaders are invited to listen and respond.

What you will find here

A growing collection of children's voices

These areas will fill up as Peace Schools join and dialogues take place. Nothing here is invented: every contribution comes from a confirmed Peace School and is published with consent.

Meaningful participation

Real voices, safely shared

  • Children decide what to share. No child is ever pressured to speak about painful experiences.
  • Contributions come through schools. Teachers submit them on behalf of their class.
  • No full names, no locations. Children are identified by first name and age at most, or not at all.
  • Consent first. Parents or guardians consent before any contribution is published.
  • Extra protection where needed. Children in conflict areas or sensitive contexts take part anonymously.
  • Children see the result. They are told how their ideas were used and what happened next.

Where it leads

From children's voices to global action

Children's voices are gathered into the Children's Peace Goals and brought to political leaders who support The Children's Peace Pledge. Their responses come back here — and inspire new schools and leaders to join.
