A new Kids’ Guernica was completed by 130
students of the eighth graders of t Ichioka Junior High School in Osaka, Japan
and it was displayed at their school festival. As a part of peace education, first,
they studied about inhumanity of bombing such as in Guernica and researched a
case of Liberian Civil War to understand how innocent children were always
victimized during any war time. After that, each of them expressed a message of
peace on a piece of drawing paper and all of their images were composed into a
Kids’ Guernica mural. They learned the necessity of working together for a
peaceful world through the process of matching the color of each image with the
whole color of the mural.
