"Give peace...a book!": 1st Vocational High School of Aghia Paraskevi
As part of our participation in ASPnet UNESCO, we received from the National Coordinator the proposal to participate in the awareness campaign "Embrace Peace", an initiative of the 8th Primary School of Kifissia to celebrate the International Day of Peace. We were inspired by the suggested message "All dressed in white!".
The students who participated in the activity discussed the World Day of Peace and read poems on peace from books suggested by the teachers responsible for the Library of the Vocational School of Aghia Paraskevi, who coordinated the action.
On September 21, 40 students and 5 teachers, all dressed in white t-shirts, gathered in the courtyard, formed the peace sign and shouted the slogan "Give peace...a book!" picking up 45 books of poetry selected by the Library.
After the action was over, the rapper "Zenkai" sang his own song about peace. A 2nd-grade student created a short video in which John Lennon's well-known anti-war song "Give Peace a Chance" can be heard, which inspired the title of our action.
