The world is full of crises; from pollution and climate change, to violence and wars, to mental health issues spreading, it is often easy to lose hope. The idea of Re-Enchantment asks us to fall in love with the world again. How can we connect with the environment and other animals, each other and ourselves with more magic and hope? How can we imagine a world, or change our perspective on our own lives so that it is more fun and loving? How can we become better neighbors and friends to one another? How can we change the world to a more peaceful, beautiful place for all? We would love to hear your ideas!

With this theme I hope that people around the world can come together to imagine ways to improve the world, dream of what a beautiful future is and think about how to uplift their community wherever they are.

The winners and educators will be recognized in the Spring issue of the Peace Chronicle hosted by the Peace and Justice Studies Association amongst scholars, artists and activists in May 2023.
