This day, created by the United Nations General Assembly, has been celebrated across the world every year on September 21 since 1981.
At Aline Hanson school, various demonstrations took place during this day unlike any other placed under the sign of tolerance, respect and listening. The 320 students, all dressed in white, gathered in the playground before all together forming the life-size word PEACE.
For the year 2020, the theme of the United Nations International Day of Peace is “Shaping Peace Together”. In order to mark this day and remember it, the students hung on the branches of the olive tree, a tree symbol of peace planted by the Soroptimist Club in 2009, various small symbolic messages.
Portraits of great personalities who have worked for peace in the world have been exhibited in the establishment, one thinks of Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Malcolm X and many others. Video projections were also shown in class throughout the day.
It should be noted that the students of the Aline Hanson school will celebrate Peace in the world throughout the school year through various educational events. _AF
