Education for tolerance, solidarity, harmony, respect for human rights, non-violence and peace are reasons to remember the 30th of January.

This day marks the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi (India, 1869-1948), a pacifist leader who defended and promoted non-violence and peaceful resistance to injustice, and who was killed for defending these ideas.

The School Day of Non-violence and Peace, given its main theme of non-violence, conflict resolution and coexistence, can be worked on at all levels of education, from Early Childhood Education to Secondary Education.

What can we learn from the School Day of Non-violence and Peace?

"There is no way to peace: peace is the way", Mahatma Ghandi.

This is the essence of the celebration of this day.

And in the following link from UNICEF there is a set of activities and resources for the International Day of Peace, which will help you to deal with peace, non-violence and good behaviour in the Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary Education classroom:
