CHALLENGE 1: PROTEST FOR PEACE
WHY BE SILENT IF WE WERE BORN SHOUTING (MACACO)
WHY BE SILENT IF WE WERE BORN SHOUTING (MACACO)
The freedom of expression is a basic right that every human being has by nature. However, sometimes, fear of what is different takes hold of us and restricts what we would like to express or show about ourselves. Fear can be faced with love, and to reach it, we need to know and understand what is happening around us and the people with whom we share the planet.
Now that you understand the causes of the conflict in Ukraine and know the reality of so many people living in war, stand up to fear and show yourself, speak out against that which brings fear, war, and stand up for that which brings understanding and love, peace.
How can you do this?
Make a declaration for peace.
Draw pictures with the peace symbol.
Make peace posters thinking about the colours and shapes you will use.
Write a poem for peace.
Compose a song for peace.
Make a peace gesture with your classmates.
Write a peace treaty with those people you think you are afraid of and are on a war footing with.
Design a mandala.
Make a peace traffic light.
Take a newspaper and cut out words that build peace. If you can't find any, cut out letters and make your own words for peace. Round the world!
CHALLENGE 2: GET WET
STANDING TOGETHER, WE CAN DO ANYTHING (SIA)
STANDING TOGETHER, WE CAN DO ANYTHING (SIA)
Knowing and understanding a reality is the starting point to be able to look for strategies that help to improve or change that reality. Put yourself in the shoes of the people who suffer from war (victims, soldiers, refugees, families...), try to understand their situation and take action to alleviate their pain.
How can you do this?
Organise a solidarity run.
Organise a collection of humanitarian material together with the Red Cross.
Donate food, clothes, first aid material in the social centre of San Julián.
Design a tourist tour of Teruel so that the refugees can get to know the city.
Share recipes of typical Spanish cuisine so that they get to know the traditions here.
Make a healthy shopping basket so that refugees know what is best to buy in a local supermarket.
Design flashcards with basic vocabulary that refugees who come to the Red Cross to learn Spanish have to learn.
Contact an NGO to provide financial support or offer to be a host family for refugees.
Research and explain what a humanitarian corridor is, why humanitarian aid enters a country at war with a white flag and how an NGO works.
Be a volunteer in an NGO to teach our language and customs, distribute food, clothes, toys, etc.
Think of a digital resource so that refugee children don't miss out on education because of war.

CHALLENGE 3: LOOK INTO THEIR EYES
THEY FORGOT THAT THE MAN IS BUT A MAN (PABLO LÓPEZ)
THEY FORGOT THAT THE MAN IS BUT A MAN (PABLO LÓPEZ)
This last challenge is the most difficult to do. Let's put a face and a name to the people who live in the extreme and irrational situation of war. People suffering from conflict are not just numbers, let's not get used to death and destruction. Behind every number there is a family, friends, acquaintances and neighbours who suffer. Now that you have overcome the two previous challenges, get to know these people, get close to them, let them really see that they are not alone in their pain and that you offer a part of yourself to help them.
How can you do this?
Set up an interview with a refugee (think about their situation and be careful).
Approach the Red Cross and volunteer with refugees.
Send letters to refugees being cared for by an NGO.
Tell your friends and family about these people so that they know about their situation and get involved, as you are doing.
Pablo Picasso painted his best known work, Guernika, inspired by the war. Be inspired by the situation of refugees and create your own Guernika.
Draw maps of refugee flows around the world.
Investigate the consequences for countries that take in and send out refugees.
