Activity 1
Research other examples of conflict within Africa. Find out which countries have experienced conflict in the past. Which countries are still feeling the effects of ongoing conflict? What are some of the impacts on families and communities as a result of conflict. Share your findings using your own words in a short paragraph below.
Conflict is like if South Sudan and North Sudan were fighting
Conflicts is like when people are fighting with weapons and firearms and there are gunshots everywhere. Conflict occurs when like country's leader doesn’t like another leader so they declare a war and they start conflict. When conflict happens lots of families get scared and confused of why people want conflict. And because of conflict people have food and water shortage because people are to scared to even go outside.
Activity 2 - Impact of conflict
What do you think the impact of conflict has on children and their education in South Sudan?
They are scared of why there a fighting and it is hard for them to learn because they are scared of what is going on.
What long-term consequences might a lack of good education have on the children there?
Graffiti art encouraging peace and challenging conflict can be seen around Juba. Be inspired by the following street art in Juba and create your own artwork using Google Drawing to show the impact of conflict.
You may choose to design something similar that shows two extremes – the good (what is being encouraged) and the bad (the negative impacts).
