I taught 4 art classes at William James Middle School about HIV/AIDS today for a World AIDS Day Global Peace Tiles Project in Statesboro, GA
The Global Peace Tiles project is a fun way to involve people everywhere in arts-based learning and sharing. To date, more than 3,000 people - from 7 to 70 - in over a dozen countries have produced thousands of works of art that have been combined into vibrant murals. Produced in structured workshops, these tiles have been used in many ways - to respond to urgent issues like HIV/AIDS (advocacy), to explore aspects of community (self-expression), to learn more about a topic like children in conflict (education), to build connections among groups of people (exchange), and to work through trauma (therapy).
HandsOn Ogeechee has offered the Peace Tiles Project as a civic engagement activity for youth since the Fall of 2007.
