Description
An initial activity leads students to identify, among various iconic symbols, the ones that refer to the idea of peace. They then try to remember statements and gestures that express the same idea. They seek to attribute these different means of expression to the contexts and situations where they may occur. Then, they discover the word peace in fifteen languages, using various scriptures. Finally, they can interview different people to see which symbols and gestures they use to express the idea of peace, and in which contexts.
