Education in and for tolerance, solidarity, harmony, respect for human rights, non-violence and peace are reasons to remember January 30. On Peace Day, schools commit themselves as advocates of peace and understanding between people of different backgrounds and ways of thinking.
This day marks the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi (India, 1869-1948), a pacifist leader who defended and promoted nonviolence and peaceful resistance to injustice and was assassinated for defending these ideas.
An education inspired by a culture of nonviolence and peace enables our students to acquire knowledge, attitudes and skills that reinforce their development as critical global citizens committed to their rights and those of others.
Peace Day, due to its general theme of non-violence, conflict resolution and coexistence, can be worked on at all educational levels from kindergarten to high school.
