Fold a Crane. Meet the World! We are the world's largest independent school-based peace project. Join us! Join us as we creatively connect people around the globe. Fold a Crane. Meet the World. At Armed with the Arts Inc, we promote peace and understanding through the arts. Our primary activity is The Peace Crane Project. We invite every child in the world to fold an origami crane, write messages of peace on its wings, then through us, trade the crane with another child somewhere in the world. To facilitate this program, we provide a newsletter, learning materials including instructional videos and guides, and manage a list of community groups and schools interested in participating. Each child participant strengthens their hand-eye coordination, practices their writing and penmanship skills, gains a better understanding of geography and another country, makes global connections, is exposed to new languages, new customs, and comes away with a broader understanding of the world.
