THE VERMONT
PEACE ACADEMY organized 50 students to travel to the UN for the International
Day of Peace program. In the afternoon, a videoconference from the
UN to high schools throughout Vermont featured youth at the Share
the Spirit of Peace Youth Summit from Israel, Serbia and Montenegro,
Liberia and Rwanda. Vermont students reported being very inspired.
As one said, "You have to start with your own person to create inner
peace and then say, 'I want the world more peaceful.' There's not
just one solution to get a peaceful Earth. Hopefully we will find
not one way but many ways to make this a more peaceful world." In
June, VPA held a press conference inviting all Vermonters to participate
as a community in the 100-D ay Countdown to Peace culminating on IDP.
