“Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding” – Albert Einstein
On September 21, the world celebrates the International Day of Peace. As the name implies, this day is dedicated to promoting the concept of global peace. However, achieving peace entails far more than simply laying down arms. The day’s goal is to raise public awareness about violence issues through education and to encourage people to live together in harmony and peace.
A key ingredient in building a culture of peace is education. The youth of today deserve a radically different education – one that does not glorify war but educates for peace, non-violence, and international cooperation.
The students of Beaconhouse Main Campus, Multan, celebrated Peace Day by presenting meaningful morning assemblies, designing posters, and adding messages to propagate the ideas of peace through colors and words.
