You’re invited to join the OBPP’s international peace dialogue by creating a page for the book!

Email us and we’ll send you a blank piece of handmade paper to write or draw your page on. (Making paper by hand is a very time-consuming process, so please don’t ask for paper unless you really intend to create a page.)
View the Peace Questions and choose one to respond to on your page. Feel free to express yourself by writing or drawing on your page, creating a stamp collage, sewing – or any other way you like. After you’ve created your response, add your own peace question for other people to respond to.
If you speak more than one language, please translate your page so that as many different people can read it as possible. For examples of pages that other people have created, go to View Pages.
When you’re finished, mail your page to:
Open Book Peace Project
2238 N. Sawyer Ave. #3
Chicago, IL 60647
Once we receive your page we’ll add it to the book and add your question to the Peace Questions so that people around the world can hear what you think about peace!
