Youth Peace Week 2021

Rebecca Methven —

Next week is Youth Peace Week 2021, the theme for this year is 'Inner Peace for Outward Action'.

Inner peace for outward action refers to how, if we focus on our own health and well-being, we will act in a more peaceful way towards others. This will lead us to spread peace to our friends and families and everyone we interact with.

This toolkit takes the concepts of Te Whare Tapa Whā and applies them in a way that is hopefully applicable to everyone in Aotearoa and around the world. The main concepts that are highlighted are those of Taha Tinana (physical well-being), Taha Hinengaro (mental and emotional well-being), Taha Whānau, (social well-being), and Taha Wairau (spiritual well-being).
