About Project
School of Peace is the final phase of the two-day trip and it’s goal is
to equip the students with an understanding of the value of peace and
tolerance. School of Peace aims to convey a positive atmosphere in
which students will grow as responsible citizens, aware of the
necessity of respecting differences and nurturing a lasting peace. The
power of the past is of great importance in building a just and
peaceful future.
There is no alternative to peace, for peace is not merely the absence
of an armed conflict, but also an ongoing process of establishing
mutual trust and respect, and it is important that students end their
visit with that understanding. Public Institution “The Memorial Center
of Homeland War” will always be open to building relationships with
other cultures and will work to establish trust and cooperation among
different nationalities.
