School Day of Non-Violence and Peace



The “School Day of Non-violence and Peace” founded in 1964 and also known as World or International Day of Non-violence and Peace, is an initiative of Non-violent and Pacifying Education, which is now practised in schools all over the world and in which centres of education, teachers and students of all levels and from all countries are invited to take part.
It advocates a permanent education in and for harmony, tolerance, solidarity, respect for human rights, non-violence and peace. It is observed on January 30 or thereabouts every year, on the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi. 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”.


The Official School of Languages has set some boards inside the school where you are welcome to post anything you consider relevant to Non Violence an Peace (photographs, poems, messages, names of people related to non violence, lyrics, etc) Thank you for your colaboration.
