2.a Onderzoek
1. Watch the "We Want Peace" music video and read the text below.
Beantwoord daarna de vragen en zet deze in je Logboek 2.
We Want Peace (WWP) has a simple goal: To raise awareness on the fundamental principles of justice, equality and freedom for all worldwide. Kicking off the campaign, and in dedication to Southern Sudan’s historic referendum in 2011 which saw the country of Sudan split into two (Sudan and South Sudan), Emmanuel released what has become the worldwide music hit: ‘We Want Peace’. The up-tempo feel good classic brings a sense of appreciation and entertainment to the importance of peace and security.
Featuring strings by Peter Gabriel, the song, like the campaign, dedicates itself to the realization that peace is possible. Sadly, conflict is still rife in the region and the route to finding sustainable peace has been extremely testing with millions still being displaced and living as refugees. WWP Supporters include a variety of high profile individuals and organisations.
Vragen (Logboek 2):
1. Which famous people can you spot in this video? (There are at least 6 to look out for.)
2. Can you Google a sentence about one of them and their activism? Based on what you know about Emmanuel so far, why do you think peace is so important to him? *Reminder: Sudan split into 2 countries in 2011. Google why this happened and explain your answer in 4 sentences.

4. Does music and helping other people in need give your life more balance? Why or why not?
3. Create the Life You Want
1. Finding balance through purpose: read the text, watch the video and fill in the answer to the logbook questions in Egodact.
Purpose is a guide to help you navigate all parts of your life. It shapes your worldview, underlies your goals, ambitions and dreams and influences how you interact with the environment and those around you. Once you find it, it will transform your life.
WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Think of it this way - without purpose, you are like the captain of a ship without a compass.
Knowing your purpose will enable a conscious awakening of self and realization that the world doesn't revolve around you, but everything in your world, collectively. Conscious awakening is a heightened state of awareness to raise your standard in thinking, planning, organisation, strategy, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, compassion, patience, kindness in order to produce positive outcomes.
To know your purpose, is to know the feeling of true joy and will lead to fulfilment in life.

4. Creative and Physical Wellbeing
Introduction:
*** use password education2020 ***
Life constantly throws up challenges no matter who we are or where we are from. Look at the past year! There have been a series of unprecedented events, which have shifted the way in which we work and behave. How do we manage these changes and also the stress, which inevitably comes with these situations?
The first port of call is by looking after yourself. Your mental and physical wellbeing are the 2 most valuable assets you have and we need to invest in them to help us deal with whatever life might throw at us. Whether it’s your grades, or a death in the family we need to be able to support ourselves through challenging times.
In this section I have created activities, which help generate a calm and positive mindset, support resilience and independent thinking as well as ways for you to explore the creative faculties of your mind and have fun.
These tools have all changed my life for the better and helped me to become the activist and artist I am today. I hope you enjoy them, peace is you.
- Emmanuel Jal
