Peace Is the Work of Attention

Author(s): Joel Christoph

A three-minute spoken word piece that treats peace as a daily practice of attention. It bridges mental wellness, public health, environmental justice, and community care. Inspired by the WHO Youth Declaration and AIME’s Imagination Declaration, it invites audiences to choose repair over rivalry and to widen who counts as us.
