The exhibition has the possibility of being an excellent and unique educational resource. The panels are intended to assist a deeper understanding of the root causes of the world's problems, The message is not ultimately negative, as they lead one to see what is an intelligent response when confronted by the chaos and destruction in the world. Worksheets have been developed for all ages, including adults, and more are being created. Overseas the exhibition is becoming increasingly popular as a means to encourage reflection and enquiry. A teacher who introduced select themes to a class of high school students reported that for most of them seeing this exhibition has been a pivotal experience that was not only sobering, but opened up their minds to a way of understanding themselves and the world that was refreshingly new. The exhibition panels have been used in universities in Thailand, and have frequently elicited an enthusiastic response from the students and faculty. I myself have used the panels with students aged 13 - 17, and could see the strong response they engendered in them.These are matters that are not usually discussed in the course of normal education.
