PEACE DAY

Today, the 30th of January, is the School Day for Non-Violence and Peace. This year, following the indications of our PDI "Mergúllate", we will dedicate this day to the refugees, people who had to run away from their home. We want to remember that every year many tragedies take place in the sea with people who flee their countries looking for a better future. 1,140 people died in the Mediterranean Sea  just in the first months of 2021 trying to reach Europe. Next week we will have the chance to meet some people who experienced these tragedies themselves along with some members of NGOs who are helping them. 

1.- First of all, let' s try to answer this question: what is a refugee? Take a look at this video to know more about this issue:

                 

2.- Now let´s meet some refugees of your age to ask them some questions:
