This Is Me
We are excited to announce that The Peace School, in collaboration with Humanist Kids and the City of Painting, is hosting The Global Painting Exhibition for Children In Celebration of Universal Children's Day.
Titled: "This is Me"
This exhibition invites children to share their unique stories through art—how they see themselves, what they know, what they love about themselves, and their dreams for the future.
We welcome all children to submit their artwork under the theme "This is Me" for this unique festival.
Persian Stories Festival
The first-ever Persian Stories Festival, organized by the Peace School in Toronto, was held on September 22, 2024, in honour of the International Day of Peace. This festival aimed to bring together Persian-speaking communities from Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Iran to celebrate and preserve the rich heritage of Persian folktales. The event fostered intergenerational dialogue, promoted cultural exchange, and introduced younger generations to the values embedded in Persian storytelling.
The festival's mission was to enhance cultural awareness, encourage family engagement, and highlight the shared heritage of Persian-speaking communities. By involving experts, families, and volunteers, the festival sought to bridge gaps between generations, providing a platform for cultural interaction and knowledge transfer.
