The project coordinator of Peace Channel, RK John said in his address that ‘instruction are same yet results are different’ to one’s prospective. He illustrated with a presentation how peace can be interpreted or elaborated in different ways. Peace starts with oneself and acquainting inner peace lead to outer peace, he said.
Further, John said that the youths, as an “agent of change”, should take up responsibility and demonstrate the vibrant movements that only youths can and use their talent to see change. They can be the change, he explained, “Where peace is not only confined to theories or concept.”
With lighted candles the students were encouraged to be ‘as bright as candle light’ to others and for the society. The event also featured a pledge for peace.
