WFWP UK - Togetherness in Every Form: A Youthful Celebration of Peace Through Music,Sport and the Arts

This weekend’s Peace Adventurers workshop brought a fresh and vibrant energy as we welcomed teenagers into the heart of our community — proof that peace has no age limit and togetherness only grows with new voices. Our theme, “Togetherness in Every Form: Exploring Peace Through Music, Sport, and the Arts,” evolved beautifully, blending reflection, education, expression, and celebration.

We began with inspiration.

Tchi Mbouani opened with a powerful presentation on Peace in Sport, spotlighting the Olympic Games as a symbol of unity and goodwill. The story of a runner helping a confused competitor finish the race reminded us all: true victory lies in compassion. It was a moment that set the tone — one of empathy, courage, and sportsmanship.

Oksana then took us deeper.

Her engaging talk on Sound and Somatic Studies revealed how deeply peace resonates within our bodies. She explored how the vibrations of sound and awareness of movement can be gateways to healing and connection — and the teens leaned in with curiosity and wonder.

A joyful snack break followed — a chance to share stories, laughter, and fruit (literally and metaphorically). As connections grew and barriers softened, a gentle rhythm began to emerge in the space.

From there, we entered The Garden of Creative Peace, guided by Merope’s soothing meditation and imaginative musical landscapes. Inside, three magical paths unfolded:

 The Song of Togetherness — a circle of drums, flutes, and voices where

rhythms joined like old friends. Each beat told a story, each sound a stitch in our tapestry of unity.

 The Colours of Feeling — free-form painting and sculpting became languages

of emotion. Red swirls of courage, blue strokes of calm, golden dots of joy…

peace became visible in every creation.

 The Dance of Friendship — games, sports, and movement brought laughter

and trust. Teens and younger children played side by side, proving that age

melts away when kindness leads.

✨ This session marked a beautiful shift — expanding the Peace Adventurers spirit

into new generations. Through sport, sound, art, and movement, we saw teenagers

step into their power as peaceful leaders. Peace begins in me… and I share it by being me.
