1. Imagine, what can bring more peace to our world?

I think everybody should know something about other religions and cultures
And everybody should accept people from other countries with other religions.

2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?

I think the main obstacle to peace in our world is the fact that many people don’t know anything about other countries, religions and cultures.
Many think people with other religions are different, but they aren’t.
We are all just people.

I did presentations about other religions in my class.
Since last year we have a partner-ship with two children from Ethiopia.
My father sends them money, so they can effort school.

4. Imagine, what can you do in the future to promote peace in your own country?

I can try to tell all my friends something about other people and their countries.
I can try to let the people understand, that we are all just people, not important how we look like or which religion we have.

7. SOPHIE, Stubenbastei
1. Imagine, what can bring more peace to our world?

I think if there is not so much war on that world it could be much better.
We also could build organisations for helping poor people...for example..
every school in vienna could send hundred euros to africa..then there
wouldnot die so much people because of hunger.

2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?

I think the biggest problem is that there always are people who want to
be mightier, richer and better than other. And so everyone wants to
essume the power of other people ..

3. Imagine, what have you done so far to promote peace in your own country?

Every Wednesday I meet friends in a house next to a church and
we talk about peace..and we also go around on the streets and ask
other people what they do to make peace..the often say that they didn´t
do anything in their life..

4. Imagine, what can you do in the future to promote peace in your own country?

I think there are so many things that I should do, but I cant,
because one person alone can´t change the world´s situation..

1. Imagine, what can bring more peace to our world?

I guess less war. If people try to accept others religion or traditions there would be much more peace in the world.

2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world? religion, tradtions, different oppinions about f.e. politician, some people have more money than the others.

3. Imagine, what have you done so far to promote peace in your own country?

voting for our government, discussions about religion and politician, donate money to our twinned school in Burkina Faso,

4. Imagine, what can you do in the future to promote peace in your own country?

like I said, people must accept others oppinions, religions, traditions. People could donate money in a charity, but the people, who can really change or support that is (unfortunately) our government, and we vote for them, but everyone has another oppinion, so this is very difficult.
