On the 21st of September, 2021, the Miguel Primo de Rivera School celebrated the International Day of Peace with a day full of activities aimed at promoting values such as dialogue, respect, cooperation, and understanding. The school’s staff and students pledged to work towards a more peaceful world and took concrete steps towards achieving this goal.

The day began with an assembly that included speeches by school leaders, teachers, and representatives from local peace organizations.

The community was invited to join in, and the response was overwhelming. Parents, grandparents, and neighbors walked alongside the students, demonstrating solidarity and support for the school’s message of peace.

The day ended with a candle lighting ceremony, where participants took turns lighting candles and sharing their hopes and dreams for a more peaceful world. The event was a moving tribute to the power of collective action and the importance of working together towards a common goal.

In conclusion, the International Day of Peace at Miguel Primo de Rivera School was a resounding success. The school’s commitment to promoting peace and tolerance was on full display, and the students and staff proved that small acts of kindness, understanding, and cooperation can lead to significant positive change.
