Relection 2 – IFP

Posted on by mulla95031@gapps.uwcsea.edu.sg

Today we had our second meeting with the Dover kids. Today’s session we discussed about how can we be leaders. We just need to focus on few of our communication and listening skills . As leader it is very important to listen to others conflict and help them find solutions to it. In the session today about communication with people i realized that how body language plays and important role. The way you ask question, the use of language helps you solve conflicts.

Planning session for the the actual session was putting together what all we learnt during our sessions. It was difficult to plan a session as we needed to decide who our delegates are going to be and accordingly we had to plan. While planning the sessions we had internal conflicts within our group as our ideas were different.  As a group we needed to decide whether their idea is going to benefit our group or not.  We had to come with best ideas but one which will benefit our delegates.

In today’s session i got to know more about being a leader and learn something more about the dover students

I really wanted to be a part of Initiative For Peace e as this represents the true UWA spirit. It actually put into action that Youth connecting Youth For sustainable Peace For Sustainable eFor Future. Connecting with students from not only our campus but also the Dover campus would be forming a big chain of Peace builders. We all come from different nations, culture and have different points of view but common together as a team for peace. Peace is not something that is not achievable. Your efforts and passion for a good peaceful future makes it achievable yes.

In this globalising world is necessary.  Living with peace makes  a healthy relationship with each other which indeed helps healthy exchange of culture . t IFP is going to provide me platform to be a peace builder . Be someone who is going to be spreading peace. I feel when you meet thousand people with same mission the mission is possible.

I am really excited for the coming year. Its going to be one of those year when we are going to be together . We are not going to be belonging to our nationality. We are going to be the citizen of world, a global citizen. A citizen who is going to be working for the welfare of our world, for sustainable future.

 

Singapore Confress with The Dovers

Posted on by mulla95031@gapps.uwcsea.edu.sg

This Sunday students from East and Dover came under one roof to learn about peace building . Meetings the students from different nationality, different background , made me believe that peace is possible. The existence of too many culture , nationalities at one place without conflict proves peace is possible . Although we belong to the same UWC but our community is different , IFP is a way we are coming together and working for the same purpose that is peace.

The conference was not only about peace but also community building. I could actually see why IFP is Calle the UWC spirit . The different games , team building activity was indicating that ‘Youth can connect Youth to build sustainable peace for sustainable future. What stood out to me was the film belief of some of us and the reason behind it. One question that stood out to me was is peace possible. Some of us believe that peace is possible , some believed that it could not be and some didn’t know it is or it is not .  We all having some different beliefs and still working towers the same goal that is peace itself proves that peace is possible .

The sessions served as a good indicator as to what to expect in the course of the upcoming year, and we were able to gain a deeper insight into the purpose of this programme. It was also a nice opportunity to meet students from Dover, make new friends.The biggest take away was acceptance, tolerance  and unity. I think the Singapore conference gave us a first hand experience of what peace building looks like and how can we be peace builder.


Peace Boat is a cruise that goes on a voyage around the world and talks about several issues in order to solve some political issue. Peace Boat was going to be there in Singapore and I got an opportunity to visit it. The peace boat had a meeting where the survivor of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb attack survival was going to talk about there experience and why peace is necessary.

When they were speaking about the bomb attacks and how small they were when this incident happen got goosebumps on my body. The told about what time bomb fell and how they managed to escape. I could imagine about the tragic situation. The problems faced by people and the adversity they faced was never seen before in the history.

After hearing the incident I just feel that the greed of power has always affected humanity in the wrong way. It has always lead to the death of people or either destruction of power. I fail to understand that what is the fault of common people in two politicians fight for power.

The bomb attack in Hiroshima and Nagasaki is considered to be the worst war on earth. Peace is very important in this world so that we survive. As the young generation, it’s our duty to maintain peace and work hard to maintain it.
