January 30th

School Day of Peace

and Non-Violence
The School Day of Peace and Non-
Violence was first celebrated in 1964. It
emerged from Spanish professor Llorenc
Vidal’s non-governmental, independent and
volunteer pioneer initiative, Non-Violent and
Peaceful Education. Its objective is to
educate for and about tolerance, solidarity,
agreement and respect for Human Rights,
non-violence and peace. On this day,
primary and secondary schools turn into
instruments of peace and understanding
among people of distinct occupations,
races, cultures and religions.
The basic message of this day is:
“Universal Love, Non-Violence and Peace.”
Furthermore, January 30th commemorates
the death of the national and spiritual leader
of India, Mahatma Gandhi, who was shot
and killed by a fanatical Hindu on January
30th, 1948.
