The Christian Muslim Centre for Understanding and Partnership (CCMUP), in cooperation with the Egyptian Family House and the Ministry of Education, organized the first activity of the Peace Journeys initiative. As part of the initiative, a group of children from the International Public Schools visited sites of religious and historical significance to raise their awareness of Egypt’s rich religious and cultural diversity and to promote mutual understanding and respect among children, which happened on june 30th.
The journey included visits to Al-Thawra Mosque and St. Mark’s Church in Heliopolis, where the children learned about different places of worship and their significance. They also visited the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) to strengthen their sense of belonging and shared Egyptian identity.
At the end of the journey, the children expressed what they had learned through creative writing and drawing, combining their ideas into a single collaborative artwork that reflected the shared values they had gained throughout the day.
