Peace Week

Help us celebrate Peace Week!

Schools' Annual Peace Week is a national week designed especially to help schools educate students about peace issues. Peace education is about helping students to understand and manage conflict in their own lives and from a greater perspective learning how peace is fostered both nationally and internationally.

Schools' Annual Peace Week is one of the Peace Foundation's biggest campaigns and contribution to the UN Decade for Peace and Non-Violence for Children. The UNESCO manifesto focused on the following six strands to be used as the basis for peace activities:

- Respect all life
- Reject violence
- Share with others
- Listen to understand
- Preserve the planet
- Rediscover solidarity

Young people are the future and by educating them on peace issues they can make a real difference in creating a more peaceful world!
