International Day of Peace - Peace One Day
|
What will you do to make peace on 21 September?Do visit the official Day of Peace site here. We can ALL make a difference, even if it is small. Peace starts with each one of us and through us, the people close to us. As teachers, we influence so many. I love that they have resources for teachers, so that we can bring a powerful message of peace to our students. Do visit the site! You can register for the resources (free) here.

The 21 st September is Students � day in Argentina, and we celebrate with parties and games. It should be interesting to have this special theme on that day, I think learners would join it. |

Hi! I agree with you.
I prepared a card to give each child along with a sweet as a present, but since a category for Student�s Day doesn�t exist I put it under the SPRING category. It would be nice to have a category for that celebration too, or at least one for cards. |

Oh, Tint! Aren �t you Brazilian anymore? I was proud of having you representing my country here...
BTW, we have ss engaged in a project: be nice. If everyone acts in a nice way, it �ll contribute to make peace - at least we hope so. We hand them a card (with a dove �s shape) and ask them to write what someone should do to be considered a nice person in their opinion.
Since we celebrate the tree day in the same date in Brazil, we �ll stick a big poster with a tree on the main wall and the students will place their "doves" with the many ways of being nice as its leaves. I �ll post a picture here, after all of them glued their doves on the tree.
But South Africa is so far from here...

Hi Tint,Your post was very touching. I haven �t even checked the links yet but your call to take a part in shaping the world towards peace was moving. Thank you! I will check the links later i promise. I don �t know if Peace day is an official day here in Israel . I have done a project on peace with my 6th graders last year because I agree with you, tint, that as a teacher we have the responsibility to teach towards understanding and tolerance. (especially in my blessed but messed up little corner of the world :).
Interesting te see by the way how many different "days" there are, peace day, tree day, students day ... I read there is even a day for left handed people!
Maybe we can have a round asking what kind of day each one of us would like. I just had a very tiring day at school and three days of holiday ahead so at the moment I would vote for a "sleep late and stay in pyjamas all day" day! :) |
