Last Monday, our 4º A students celebrated the day of Non-violence and Peace in the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi. Our students listened to the famous speech which Martin Luther King, another icon of the Peace movement, gave to defend civil rights in a period when segregation laws existed in USA. These role models make them be aware of the importance of peaceful movements to remind us that violence is never a solution. These students also read a short biography of him and did some fil-in-the-gap activities.
