Welcome, ELLEN FANS!
The Peace Crane Project is super excited to welcome viewers and fans of Ellen to our website. Please join us in our quest to connect and unite the children of the world in a vision of peace!
We invite every student in the world to fold an origami crane, write a message of peace on its wings, then trade it with another student somewhere in the world. Classrooms, teachers, students, schools, community groups, families, and individuals are welcome to participate.
The Project provides students the opportunity to express themselves, learn basic geography, strengthen their writing skills, and improve their hand-eye coordination. Participants are exposed to other cultures, given a chance to hear new languages, and see the world through the eyes of others. Most importantly, it empowers youth to make a difference in the world and inspires them to lead us all to a more peaceful future.

TESTIMONIALS ABOUT THE PEACE CRANE PROJECT
My students feel empowered to be helping Egyptian students learn English while they learn global collaboration skills. This is an exceptionally valuable student-centered global project!
It’s our third year of participation in this project and my students can’t imagine our future without it. We not only exchange paper cranes we also establish bridges between different countries and quite different cultures.
An engaging and enriching experience for our students. We have now made further local connections as a result of the project which we look forward to linking with next year.
This project has had a positive impact on not only the students but also the teachers at Silver Bay Elementary. Our fourth graders will not soon forget their mission to spread peace and hope to others, to live with a heart filled with love, or their passion to impact change.
By participating in the project my students have the opportunity to be in contact with children from countries they didn’t even know existed. This opens their minds and helps them understand that there are people who live so far away from us and they also care about Peace. My students learned to respect and accept the differences between people. Thank you for giving me the chance to be part of your great community of Peace crane exchange.
