This is an admirable initiative by the Josammy Emporio Foundation to celebrate the International Day of Peace. Here are some ideas to structure a drama or sketch that could be broadcast on African television channels:

Exposition of the Ills of Society

Conflict Scenes: Show scenes where the characters are confronted with injustices, discrimination, and violence.
