1st Vocational School of Didymoteicho

               International Day of Peace at the 1st Vocational School of  Didymoteicho

 Peace, according to the preamble of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is one of the highest ideals, along with freedom and justice, which are founded on respect for human dignity and serve human rights as a whole. 

Education is an inalienable human right and, at the same time, a means and tool for promoting and strengthening other human rights.

According to Unesco, education for a culture of peace and non-violence is a process of promoting knowledge, skills, attitudes and values ​​needed for the changes to be achieved so that they will contribute to the development of such behaviours that will prevent violence and conflicts. 

In this context, the 1st Vocational School of Didymoteicho, "Evgenios Eugenides," celebrated World Peace Day with actions. 

We organized groups that discussed the hate speech that breeds war and the progress that can be achieved globally by consolidating peace.

Apart from the theoretical background, we framed our program with activities in the school area. The result was the interactive communication of the student community and the strengthening of the global request to prevent violence.
