I think that many things can be usefull , and the most important is LOVE , Participation, Religions and Cultures, coexisrtnce , Tolerance, Solidarity,union…

2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?
The world is filled with war, terrorism, turmoil and confusion. While men have created many amazing technological inventions, they cannot “create” peace. The big problem that humans believe war brings peace ,but is it right? War brings peace? ... i don’t think so.
Pessimism, if you walk in street,ask anyone“do you believe that someday you will wake up and find peace between the countrues?“ his answer will be“no“.
3. Imagine, what have you done so far to promote peace in your own country?
TO ACCEPT AND RESPECT EACH OTHER, PRATICIPATING IN OUR SOCIETY

4. Imagine, what can you do in the future to promote peace in your own country?
IT IS REALLY HARD , WHAT CAN I PRESENT TO MY WORLD…
I DON’T THINK THAT I CAN ANSWER THIS QUISTION , MAYBE MY FUTURE CAN DO .

Adam Bokor Your age: 16

1. If people or countries have problems with each other, they could agree instead of arguing. They could make a solution, what is the same good for both of them, even if they have to argue for a long time. It is still better, than to unleash a war.
2. answer:
I think one of the main obstacles could be that some people doesn’t want to agree, they want to control instead. They think, that it could be easier, if they don’t try to look for a solution, what is good for both of them, they want to get everything.
3. answer:
If we can call it something, what could promote peace, then this year we met some English students in our school. They came here to get to know our country and the people. I think, they had a very good time, we enjoyed it very much.
4. answer:
I think, we could be with people from other countries more, so they can get to know, how we live, and they can be more sympathetic with us.

Borak Fahed Hawwary ,16 yrs old,
1. Imagine, what can bring more peace to our world?
Discrimination chunk will be eliminated, racism person will flow out. We live comfortably, safely and at least fairly. My opinion goes like this, peace is a word if you hear it you always think borders won’t be and money will flow.. you have a great life far from the problems. So the interpretation of my opinion is problems will be solved.
2. Imagine, what are the main obstacles to peace in our world?
The is the same.. you can see it in one union level. Peace is a word that it won’t finish and won’t vanish, so it surely got some obstacles. Like won’t be any wars, killing, good rules and the most important no one is above you.. you is you.. you the boss on your self.
3. Imagine, what have you done so far to promote peace in your own country?
Less of things.. by the way, peace is one adjective for my culture. Like banish children from fights. But, what can stop me to proceed promoting peace is being a country on my land. I need peace.. so I go for it, but I can’t. Today, I’m waiting to get in this PeaceCamp to let my opinions spread and get more information about the Peace expression.

4. Imagine, what can you do in the future to promote peace in your own country?
Many things, first open a place for young people to educate them good in fresh information about what could peace bring. Peace is an integral part of my religion…so big bosses in my religion fresh my culture. But in my country we still have to communicate before peace.. but I think peace is good for starting in communications. Second, open a website.. write in it the advantages of peace, and what benefits we can get?. Thirdly, like making in my city a week of peace like making lectures, theaters and plays, and a lot of things. Fourthly, many things that comes how the environment explains.

1. People would accept each other, there is nobody who could be dominated by others, everybody is special but not different just because of his skin or religion.

2. Differences between rich and poor in many countries, arms race, religious and racial differences. It sets alredy in childhood (as an effect from the adults) that we think, others are worse, more primitive os just less than us.

3. There is an organization in Hungary, it is called 'Young Humanists for a Better Future'. They organise an event every year, 'békejel', in English it's 'peace sign'. We form a great peace sign at the largest square of Budapest (Hősök tere) with torches, so it's quite cool to watch from the sky at night. This stuff became international, this year there were many living peace signs around the world. If you want to learn more about this, you can visit this site: http://www.europeforpeace.eu/

4. I'll try to remain tolerant with the others and I'll prompt my friends to behave like this and after this camp I'll tell them about your cultures to get to know how other teenagers live around the world.

1. I thonk people can be more tolerate and more understanding. If it is possible, everybody could accept thet nobody is perfect, everybody makes mistakes.

2. I think people. Because people are greedy, and wants more and more power. They always want to show who is the stronger, but it doesn't really construe in our world.

3. I didn't do so many thongs, but I always said to people that prejudices are bad. I really hate to say opinion about somebody's personality, if I don't know.

4. Firstly I will go to this camp, and than I will tell my experiences about the others, and about the camp.

1. If people will listen to other people, and will try to know each other really, and not only through third party- peace will be more possible.
Sport is one of the possible "meeting points".

2. Different language and old stigmas are one of the obstacles.
People use violence and power, rather than talking.
Nothing is personal – when you know someone personally, it is harder to hate blindly.

3. I guide younger children in my village, so I can talk to them about many things. I also play and coach in sport, where we try to meet many children and youth from other places and also other religions, and learn to play honestly.

4. To join international sport meetings and to try and meet many people and really know them. It will make some things "personal".

1. Perhaps it can bring more peace to our world if the governments give more jobs for people, and they'd can work and don't just worry about money, so they would be calm and peaceful :).

2. I think the main obstacle to peace in our world is money - becouse if somebody wants a good life he/she must has a lot of money, so money (and power) will be the most important thing in his/her life :(.

3. I haven't do so big things for peace so far, but I think people with another nation, religion, etc doesnt't worse than my nation or something, so I accept them and I find they're interesting :).

4. I think if just I wanna peace, I would't be successful. I can do everything, but it would just me, but the others has to want peace - and fight for it needs. Somebody likes war, becouse there's a lot of money in it, and this poeple can make war for their money... Let's stop them! >:D

If the young generation will be educated to forgiveness, and to accept differences betweeen peole, this can bring us closer to situation of living togetehr in the world.
2. the main obstacles to peace in our world that there are some people that get benefit from the war. And they have interest to continue the war.
3. It's not what I have donbe so fsar, this is what I feel about peace and about other civilization. And I try to distribute my idea about them.

1. If people stop fighting with each other and try to understand the other side of the argument it could bring more peace to the world.
2. the main obstacles to peace in our world are: prejudices, people who don't agree to come to a compromise and the lack of knowledge of some people aboput the other cultures.
3. so far I joined a youth movement which encourages and takes activities for peace
4. I can learn about other cultures and share this knowledge with otehr teenagers, so they could try and understand and maybe even meet other teenagers from otehr cultures. this way they could understand that the other teenagers are just like us. I believe that the change should start among the youth. They are the future!

4. I don't think I have much influence but i'd like to start talking to people around me.

1. I think that cooperation against common problems is an important thing and cooperation in other ways and promote the peace in the world.
2. I think that one of teh obstacles is the spilt in the world and the thoughtlessness and misunderstasnding of our society.
The governers can't compromise and sacrifice enough for peace.
3. Until now all i've done is chnnging my friedns' opinions and stigmas, cause as a child I don't know what else I can do.

4. I think that i'll continue to change my friends' opinions and stigmas because as a child I don't know what else I can do. Maybe the camp will help me to understand what I can do and how I can help as a child.
