The first official Kids For Peace workshop was held in collaboration with the Fullerton Museum Center in Orange County. The painted panels created in this workshop were exhibited with the  “Anne Frank and the World” Exhibit.

The early workshops focused on a contrast between the terrorism in Israel and the gang violence in America.   The workshops started with discussion of Peace, Poetry readings, Video on Israel and then the painting of the wood tiles. The intention  was to conduct numerous workshops and for the finished tiles to go to Israel and find a permanent home. The first 50 tiles for the UN mural were completed.
