“Peaceandnon-violenceforthechildrenof theworld”
13-21November2010
BUZĂU COUNTY SCHOOL INSPECTORATE , ROMANIA

The story goes that, once a year, for a week, people
all over our continent worship the power and benefits
of education under the auspices of the North-South
Centre of the Council of Europe.
The Global Education Week, celebrated between
November 13 and 21, is supposed to be a time for
reflection. A time for both those who educate and
those who are educated to become partners, by
learning and acting together, by acknowledging the
potential of education to solve the major problems of
our contemporary society on a global scale.

2010 is about celebrating peace and promoting non-violence
for the children of the world. What an amazing choice - a
priority and an opportunity - to devote our attention and
interest to the teaching and learning of two important
values: peace and non-violence.
This year, encouraged by our Inspector for Educational
Activities,
Mrs Paula Mihai, and our Inspector for English, Mrs
Georgeta Oprea, Radu Vladescu Theoretical High School,
Grigore C. Moisil Technical School Group and Mihai
Eminescu National College
decided to welcome GEW together.

Here, at Radu Vladescu High School, we believe that,
if our youngest students realize the role and significance
of peace,
if their elder friends manage to portray the future of
their dreams for them, if today’s teenagers and young
people take their time
to guide, inspire and motivate them…then tomorrow
will certainly be a better place to live in.

Peace doesn't cost anything.
It starts with a smile and continues
with hope, respect and tolerance.

The Meaning of Peace
Peace is a smile,
Peace is a thought,
Peace is a bird,
Flying in the wind.
Peace is a boat,
Sailing the waves.
Peace is in the sky,
In its beautiful clouds.
Peace is a tree,
Both blossoms and fruit,
Like the dove of peace,
Carrying an olive branch in its beak,
Let’s bring peace to the children of the world.
(Florina Radu)
What is Peace?
Peace is like a light in the night,
It is a ray warming a frozen heart,
A pure smile,
Peace lives inside
Any good soul.
Peace is the good fairy.(Roxana Gilmeanu)
Hoping for a
better future,
the 12th
graders
dedicate a few
peace poems to
their younger
colleagues and
all the children
of the world.

The Value of Peace
By providing peace for everyone
I feel an inner sense of calm.
By dreaming serenity for the world
I find myself helping the poor.
By loving with my peaceful heart
Friendship and happiness are all
around.
By being there for somebody in need
I know that peace is vital indeed.
(Georgiana Stoica)
Children of Peace
You think about money,
You think about great achievements,
But you don’t need them.
You think about yourself, about beauty,
Maybe you think about smart things,
But you don’t need them.
If you love peace and tolerance,
If you love friendship,
If you love love,
If you hate hatred and leave it behind,
Certainly,
You were born to be a peace child.
(Cristina Anton)

Grow up in Peace
If your world is free,
Open your eyes,
Grow up in your country and see,
In everything an opportunity.
It does not matter where we are
born.
If you have a special place in
your soul,
For peace, hope and tolerance,
Your future is safe.
(Mihaela Cucu)
In the Name of Peace
The war is a conclusion
And peace seems an illusion.
It’s like people were beasts
with war in their blood,
But there’s an angel among us
With its white wings,
Sharing justice and light…
I am sending this peace message
with the wind
From horizon to horizon
To all the children of the world.
(Manuela Iancu)

The Best of Us
Peace is like a flower,
Like a mother for everyone,
Like a fairy-tale.
For you, the children,
Peace is in the air you breathe,
The love and respect that you
share,
Peace is your right and your duty
Peace should live everywhere.
(Mihaela Cojanu)
A Free Soul
A free soul like you are,
Always carries this thought:
Peace and harmony for all…
A single thought
Which makes a future
Worth waiting for.
(Roxana Negoescu)

Feelings of Peace
Peace is freedom without sadness,
Each of us keeps peace inside our souls,
And after that, we’d better share it with
others
‘Cause life is not possible if we are at war
Everyone deserves the heavenly gift of
love.
(Nicolae Oita)
Hoping for Peace
We all long for peace-
The word-giver of hope.
If love existed everywhere,
There would be no more pain,
no worries, no wounds, no troubles…
Only a joyful life.
(Larisa Ruptureanu)

A Wor(l)d for the People
Peace…What a wonderful word!
It makes us better in the world;
If we were more tolerant people,
Then, we’d all live in harmony,
Then, we’d all have more happiness,
If we lived in gentleness.
So, love more your friends and family
And treat the world with respect and
dignity.
(Cristina Faibes)
Peace is on Earth
Our most sacred gift
Which ceases to exist
When people hate each other.
My advice is to protect it,
With love and tolerance.
Let it live.
(Marina Voica)

Let’s conclude by celebrating
and preserving peace …inside
our souls, at home, in our
families and communities.
We hope you have learnt what
peace means: smiles, hope,
friendship, love, education, joy
and dreams come true.
Peace means happiness and life.
This is the future of this world
if we agree to live in peace,
together with the children of
today’s generation
for a better, safer tomorrow.
