SCHOOL DAY OF PEACE

PEACE IS NOT A SEASON, IT'S A WAY OF LIFE We celebrated Peace and Non-violence on January 30th. We contributed to the activities at school with our 'THOUGHTS FOR PEACE', written by 1st year E.S.O. students on different paper doves.

NOVEMBER 25TH. WHITE RIBBON CAMPAIGN: Stop Violence Against Women

Every year we do something special to remember this particular date. Sadly, it's still necessary to do so because, not only in our country, but in many parts of the world, many women suffer from emotional and physical abuse. This abuse will most likely result in death if we don't stop it...NOW. WE ARE ALL TOGETHER IN THIS! WHAT CAN YOU AND ME DO THIS YEAR?
