160 schools get together in support of the WM

The activity that took place in the Teacher Training College no.106 in La Matanza was clearly framed right from the start, when the Inspector in charge of the district said, "the commitment that education must make today in order to educate the new generation in peace and nonviolence".

Once the March was presented with video presentations, and speeches were heard from national Spokesperson, Guillermo Sullings and other organisers, the participants stood up to ask for peace in the country and the world.

Following this, groups were formed to deal with the wide variety of activities to do in schools to promote the March's themes to their students.  The proposals were based on the handbook "Setting ourselves in Motion", precisely orientated to this objective.

The variety of initiatives became clear in the subsequent interchange: WM murals will be painted ; research into nonviolence; mathematical statistics relating military and nuclear budgets with hunger; games; peace stories; photographic exhibitions, etc.  In all cases, it is not just about transmiting information but rather an active and creative participation of the youngsters.

The words will be carried forward during the coming month and a half to be then presented in the Nonviolence Forum that will take place on the 9^th of October in Matanza University, to which 800 district schools are invited.

The event was broadcast live by the Buenos Aires Teaching Union internet Radio channel.
