At the beginning of 2011, Peace Dialogue launched the Let's See… Let's Choose… Let's Change… project, which is an experiment to form a group of active young people in Vanadzor. The young men and women involved in the project will take the responsibility of achieving peace in their community, country, and region.
In this booklet, which we decided to devote to the International Day of Peace celebrated on September 21, we have published only some of the numerous works presented for the contest of creative works called “Peace Through My Eyes”, in which a lot of young people from Yerevan, Gyumri, Vanadzor, Dilijan, and Ijevan took part.
Let’s see… Let’s choose… Let’s change… is a project of Peace Dialogue NGO. The idea of the project comes from the experiences and lessons learned from educational peace work done by Peace Dialogue’s staff in Armenia and in the Caucasus. If you are young and you have concerns and ideas related to your community and the larger world, if you have something to say or need to express yourself, JOIN US!
The most valuable achievements for us were the lessons which were learned during the last year, and the small success stories of our organization and the people involved, which we want to share with you in this review.
