In recent months, Hardwired-trained teachers in Lebanon integrated our peace-building lessons into classrooms and brought them to the community through student-led performances. These plays reinforced crucial concepts of pluralism and mutual respect, ensuring that students not only learn about peace—but actively practice it. Hardwired is transforming education in conflict-affected regions like Lebanon, where we’re training teachers to foster pluralism, dignity, and peace in the classroom.

This spring, in Milosheva and Kacanik, students performed Hardwired’s Fruitopia. The play is a key aspect of our educational program, culminating powerful lessons learned into a community event that explores these concepts by mirroring real-world struggles of division and discrimination. Families, educators, and officials witnessed the power of human dignity and understanding as students worked together on stage. One parent shared: “It felt like the message was meant for all of us, not just the children.” This is the future we’re building—one where respect and unity overcome fear and division. #BuildingPeace #educationforchange #PluralismInAction #InspireChange #BuildingBridges #humanrightseducation #Kosovo #RespectAndUnderstanding #GlobalService #CriticalThinking (fb)
