The radio programmes features commentary gleaned from interviews with peacemakers, educators, scientists, cultural icons, and students. These interviews focus on issues central to the WSSD, such as food, water, shelter, sanitation, health, energy, gender equity, economic security, and education.

The programmes also showcase the work of students who contributed to Peace Diaries, Volume One. This 300-page book on human rights and peace was created in reaction to the September, 2001 terrorist attacks on the USA to give kids a healthy way to express their fears, concerns, and hopes for peace. It features writing and artwork by students in New York, Azerbaijan, Israel, France, Argentina, Chile, Ghana and South Africa.

Children, Conflict.

Peace Diaries is an international education programme developed by the not-for-profit organisation Knowledge iTrust (KIT). The organisation works with students from countries around the world through advanced Internet technology, developed by KIT, to collaborate on projects that produce educational content, global dialogue, and commentary for publication or broadcast. An upcoming project is Peace Diaries, Volume Two, Cultivating Peace. This publication is designed to help students develop peacemaking capacities in the context of topics presented at the WSSD conference. The project will launch in Fall 2002 and will involve students from around the world.
