International migration continues to grow on a scale never seen before, bringing with it social and cultural diversity, and inequalities in living standards. At the same time, the world has seen a sharp rise in terrorism, threats of war, populist politics and significant lack of confidence in leadership.
Survey after survey in recent years have pointed to the significant connections between strong academic achievement and arts learning. But can the arts build on its foundation of “universal language” and actually bring cultures closer together?
Professor Ada Aharoni, who lives in Israel and is the founding President of the International Forum for the Literature and Culture of Peace (IFLAC), believes that education has a critical role to play in the peace process. Intercultural communication, peace literature and a peace media can substantially help in healing the urgent ailments of our global village. However, Aharoni notes, “Peace and tolerance education should be given to the teachers and the parents too. If a child goes back home after class to parents that are intolerant and violent, the child, despite his peace and tolerance education at school, will be forcefully influenced by the values, customs and traditions of his parents.” Today’s youth are living in a globalized world, and a true global citizen according to Aharoni is, “a human guardian of all the people in our global village, and not only of the country she or he lives in.”
Professor Ada Aharoni received the President Shimon Peres Award for Peace in 2012 for her peace research, her books and her work with IFLAC. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 2014.

Elisha announces release of ‘My Dog Pepsey’
HEMET, Calif. – Inspired by personal experience living with a dog and the humor the author gets in taking care of the dog, Elisha’s “My Dog Pepsey” (published by Xlibris) shows to readers the way dogs sees the world, making the readers understand how a man’s best friend acts.
The book is about the author’s very spoiled poodle and how he understands and interprets what he sees and encounters in the world. For Elisha, the book is unique as it shows how dogs think.
The message that Elisha wants to convey through “My Dog Pepsey” is for the readers to adopt a pet of their own from a local shelter.
“I hope you find the humor and emotion that was trying to be. I hope it brings out your own love of animals so that one day you will adopt a pet of your own to love,” the author says.
