your own on the internet.

Here is an exampe of what you can do... and it just takes a few minutes.

Peace and non-violence Day

There are more than 30 wars or conflicts worldwide at the moment. All of us are hearing about Gaza these days. But some people are trying to stop this situation and there are plenty of symbols and signs for PEACE:
A dove with an olive branch or the Peace rainbow flag are some famous ones, but there’s one more symbol that is slowly spreading all around the world known as “Non violence” or “The knotted gun”.

In 1980 the Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd created an artwork. When he learned that his friend John Lennon had been murdered, he became so upset and angry over this senseless death and its unnecessary violence that he went to his studio and started working on the “non-violence” project.
Replicas of the sculpture have been installed in many countries since then, one of them in New York/USA at the Grounds of the United Nations; other replicas can be found in Luxembourg, Berlin, Cape Town, Liverpool, Lausanne, Stockholm, Miami or Göteborg.
Now it is our turn to think of a really great symbol to celebrate this day at our school and maybe in a few years one of our students will have his or her masterpeace all over the world.
Use your imagination!
