Every year ‘‘Peace in Schools’ is proclaimed on Åland. In 2012 this was done on the 13th of September in the Sports Center in Godby. About 600 pupils from 4th, 5th and 9th grades in Åland’s schools participated.
The programme, among others, included speeches, live music and dancing. The event was live streamed on internet and can be watched at bambuser.com.
With Folkhälsan as the core organizer, the Åland Islands Peace Institute, Save the Children, and the Department for Education at the local government are cooperating in order to promote ‘Peace in Schools’. ‘Peace in Schools’ is intended to highlight how important it is that everyone involved in school life work together for a humane educational environment.
