The International Day of Peace
The Government of the Principality of Monaco: I have the pleasure
to inform you that the government of Monaco, through the Management
of the National Education of Youth and Sports and considering the
importance of the theme of peace expressed by HSH Prince Albert II
to the international authorities, has put on the curriculum of all
elementary and secondary schools of Monaco this year the following
three fundamental texts : the UN Resolution 55/282, the HSH Prince’s
speech on 12 July 2005 and the texts referring to the Olympic truce.
In primary schools, numerous activities in literature, music education
and visual arts increased awareness on the theme of peace during this
Day of 21 September 2005. Following the various reactions arising
from it, Peace exhibitions presenting extracts from the studied documents
and illustrations were held in schools. In secondary schools, numerous
debates were organized. A link was made between history, civic education
and Monegasque identity programmes. Teachers insisted particularly
on the role played by Prince Albert 1st of Monaco, Founder of the
International Peace Institute, on the commitment of HSH Prince Albert
II which was underlined in his accession speech. Pupils, aware of
their luck to live in a state where peace prevails, think that everybody
can take part by supporting actions from international organizations,
NGOs and humanitarian associations whose aim is to promote Peace and
that the Principality also has a role to play. You will therefore
note that the Principality continues its education programme amongst
the youths in the field of human rights and peace, as my predecessors
had informed you. Of course, this action is part of a larger educational
project to promote the respect of human rights whose principles, rights
and duties the principality is very keen to defend.
