2. ‘Give Peace a chance’-John Lennon
What does peace mean to you? How can we achieve peace?

3. How did your vision of peace compare?
“When they talk about peace on the TV it’s big things. It’s who controls what and who governs whom. But for us peace is the little things. It’s going shopping, meeting your friends for a drink, fetching a newspaper without fear of being shot at by snipers in the next street. Peace means sleeping soundly in your bed….” Sarajevo resident.
