SCHOOL DAY OF NON - VIOLENCE AND PEACE:

The School Day of Non-violence and Peace is an observance founded by the Spanish poet Llorenc Vidal Vidal in Majorca in 1964 as a starting point and support for a pacifying and non-violent education of a permanent character. Different as the first proposed by the UNESCO "Armistice Day" in 1948, the "School Day of Non-violence and Peace" is observed on January 30 or thereabouts every year, on the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi, in schools all over the world.  Its basic and permanent message is: "Universal love, non-violence and peace".

Former Director-General of UNESCO, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, has been promoting during decades the School Day of Non-violence and Peace, saying : "We can not achieve a sustainable development without a culture of peace".

That is why we have worked about this day with our children. We have learnt what people like Gandhi, JFK, Mandela, Luther, King, Einstein, Lennon, Whitman or Mother Teresa  had to say about peace and what things they did to have a better world.
