As a result of increased violence among youth in these days in Macedonia, the Art of living Macedonia has launched a project called "Caravan of Peace", which will pulse through schools in Macedonia during the year and will fill the schools with positive vibrations.
The project includes organizing sport games and activities among young people,with main goal, throughout sport activities to be reduced the violence among young people, to rise the challenge of sustainable lifestyles, to motivate, inspire, engage and support young people.
The first sports workshop was held on 30.03.2012 in a primary school in Skopje, Macedonia, attended by about 40 children aged 7 to 10 years. The games were group and individual, adjusted to the age of the participants. The participants were able to feel his own competitive spirit, and also during team games to participate and develop a sense of teamwork. The top three winners in the individual games were awarded with symbolic prizes.
The purpose of this workshop was encouraging good relations in school and beyond, a sense of connectedness among students, development of team play, improved mental and physical health, develop friendship and cooperation, positive emotions and good mood.
The idea for this project arose as a result of support for collaboration between The International Art of Living Foundation and Peace Child International to joint efforts for empowering young people and encouraging their human values.
