In two days' time, we will be celebrating the School Day of Non-violence and Peace which has been celebrated in schools in Spain for a long time. It was founded by Lorenzo Vidal Vidal, a teacher and poet, who started this project in 1964, in Majorca. He proposed this date because it is the day on which a great pacifist died, Mahatma Gandhi. Nowadays, many other countries celebrate this day too.
I think it is important to teach our students that each of them can and should make a difference; we should make them understand that trespassing certain limits is a micro-violence; for instance, not respecting others' spaces and decisions can hurt other people and mates a lot.
