The School Day of Non-violence and Peace (30th January)

The School Day of Non-violence and Peace is an observance founded by the Spanish poet Llorenç Vidal in Majorca in 1964 as a starting point and support for a pacifying and non-violent education of a permanent character. It is observed on January 30, on the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi, in schools all over the world. In countries with a Southern Hemisphere school calendar, it can be observed on 30 March. Its basic and permanent message is:  
"Universal love, non-violence and peace. Universal love is better than egoism, non-violence is better than violence, and peace is better than war".

Former Director-General of UNESCO, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, has been promoting during decades the School Day of Non-violence and Peace, saying in Global Education Magazine: "We can not achieve a sustainable development without a culture of peace". (from wikipedia)

It advocates a permanent education in and for harmony, tolerance, solidarity, respect for human rights, non-violence and peace.
