Our assemblies this week have acknowledged the International Day of Peace which takes place annually on 21st September and started in 1981. This year is especially poignant as it marks the 25th anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly having adopted the declaration and programme of action on a culture of peace. The values, as laid out by the UN General Assembly are; respect for life, human rights and fundamental freedoms; the promotion of non-violence through education, dialogue and cooperation; commitment to peaceful settlement of conflicts; and adherence to freedom, justice, democracy, tolerance, solidarity, cooperation, pluralism, cultural diversity, dialogue and understanding at all levels of society and among nations.
Here at Smestow Academy, one of our Smestow values is to provide and welcoming and caring environment which we think supports this action for a culture of peace.
