Mennaisian Network of Spain: School Day for Non-Violence and Peace

On 30th January, to commemorate that Day, all the Schools of the Mennaisian Network in Spain celebrated the School Day for Non-Violence and Peace, by a simple Gesture in which the Educational Communities and Groups close to Schools were involved.

Centre Zamora Joven

For example, at the Zamora Joven Centre, young people met with their “neighbours” of Caritas’ Project «Hombre», with those who did a Reading (below) of the participants in the “Hombre” Project read a Poem he wrote while in Prison. During that Commemorative Act, the Song “Super Heroes” by Beret was heard in background Music.

 Read completed:

Peace is an International Right that allowed all International Conflicts to be settled by Non-Violent means.

Peace means Unity, and it begins in the Heart of each one, and must continue in the Family and in the World.

Peace is Harmony, Love, Freedom, Respect, Cohabitation, Sharing, Helping and Transmitting the best of Ourselves. We must give Our best to Others.

John Paul II said that Peace “would be the Last Word of History”.

 

The School Day of Non-Violence and Peace (or DENIP, acronym from Catalan: Dia Escolar de la No-violència i la Pau) is an observance founded by the Spanish poet Llorenç Vidal Vidal in Majorca in 1964 as a starting point and support for a pacifying and Non-Violent Education of a permanent character.[1] Different as the first proposed by the UNESCO “Armistice Day” in 1948, DENIP is observed on January 30th  or thereabouts every year, on the Anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi, in Schools all over the World :
