PROGRESS: Has your organization seen
progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain of
action and in your constituency during the first half of the Decade? |

in it. The beginning of this work has already been done at Kuršenai
Pavenciu Secondary School.
|

|
ACTIONS: What actions have been
undertaken by your organization to promote a culture of peace and
nonviolence during the first half of the Decade?
|
Participation
in international project MDM (“Mankind Memorial”) and traditional
school events such as ‘Ways of Lithuanian Independence and Fight’,
‘History of Lithuanian Army’, ‘History Frozen for a Moment’, essay
competitions ‘My Grandparents and Ancestors’ Neighbours Jews’,
‘Story of One Life’, expositions ‘Photos from the Old Album’, ‘They
Protected Independence’, ‘Terror – No’ help pupils understand the past
events which were experienced by their grandparents, parents and other
members of the community.
Tolerance is a value opening the door
to the real aims, peace, respect to adults and children as well as care
for others and for nature. At our school various events such as
‘A Kindness Day and One Daily Action of Random Kindness’, ‘Handicapped
People in Society’, ‘Tree Planting Action’, ‘From A Culture of Violence
to A Culture of Peace and Care’, ‘Community Service’, ‘Religions and
Peace’ are organized in order to achieve these goals.
|
ADVICE: What advice would you like to
give to the Secretary-General and the General Assembly to promote a
culture of peace and nonviolence during the second half of the Decade? |
History
is the formation of a thorough attitude towards person’s experience.
The formation of a historical memory and a civil position through
various subjects and events develops values and improves human
relationship. In lessons and during after-school activities it is very
important to form human values and preserve a historical memory as
there are left fewer and fewer witnesses of the events.

networks does your organization participate in, thus strengthening the
global movement for a culture of peace? |
Part of the Life-Link Friendship-Schools network.
|

planned by your organization to promote a culture of peace and
nonviolence in the second half of the Decade (2005-2010)? |
