Initially it was tough to explain how sinking of Rainbow Warrior relates to
peace in the Indian context. However, it was great seeing kids coming up
with ideas and we were open to discuss what peace meant to
them.

We got tremendous response from people in Chandigarh. They came forward in
large numbers and wrote messages of peace, hope and concern about our
fragile planet. Most of them also opposed any kind of a war or conflict.

Children showed great enthusiasm and came up with a wide variety of ideas on
peace.

Wearing sailor caps in Chandigarh was quite funny as most of the people
haven't seen sailors! Talking to people about their perspective on peace was
quite engaging and challenging.

In the process of mobilizing peace through dialogue and
written messages, we in greenpeace were challenged as we helped Indian citizens
especially schoolchildren express their vent up feeling about peace; they now
want to act on them…………
