PEACE DAY

Every year, on the 30th of January, schools celebrate Peace Day. We always talk about peace, but what is peace to you?, what does it mean? Peace is sharing, giving, loving, kissing, hugging, ... Listen to this kids opinions...

Happy Peace Day to you all!!!

WHAT IS PEACE TO YOU?!

Have you ever wonder what Peace is? Everyone talks about Peace, but ... what is it like? What colour is it? How old is it? What size is it? Where is it? Can you buy it? How does it taste and smell? Can you describe it? Difficult work! Think about it. You can have a look at this video and get some ideas... Pay special attention to the comments of the kids that appear at the end.

Happy School Day of Non-Violence and Peace!

PEACE DAY

Next Sunday, January the 30th, it will be the School day of Non-Violence and Peace. It is observed on January 30 every year, on the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi, one of the peace makers. Its basic message is: “Universal Love, Non-violence and Peace. Universal Love is better than egoism, Non-violence is better than violence, and Peace is better than war”.

This year I want you to think about a sentence that explains what peace means for you. You can start writing "Peace is ...". Try to be creative, original and imaginative. Maybe the next slideshow can inspire you. Later, once you get your idea, you are going to make an online poster adding an image to your phrase.

HAPPY SCHOOL DAY OF NON-VIOLENCE AND PEACE

The School Day of Non-violence and Peace was founded by the Spanish educator and poet Lorenzo Vidal Vidal in 1964. It is observed on January 30th every year, on the anniversary of the death of Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was a political and spiritual leader who became the international symbol of a free India through a non-violent revolution and passive resistance. He said:

"If we are to teach real peace in this world… we shall have to begin with the children".

Now, please, watch this video: from the award-winning documentary, "Playing For Change", comes an incredible reedition of the legendary Bob Marley song "One Love". Street musicians from all over the world singing and playing this song together to promote peace through music. Simply marvellous!
