Peacemaker of the year
As part of the Ahtisaari Days, each school or class can choose its own Peacemaker of the Year. The aim of this award is to recognise a student, a group of students, or even a member of the school staff, who has / have tried especially hard to solve conflicts and promote peace. At the same time, the award inspires others to strive for the same goals.
It’s a good idea to choose a Peacemaker or Peacemakers of the Year by popular vote. This gives everyone an equal voice, and promotes constructive debate. There can be an all-round Peacemaker of the Year for the entire school, or one for each class.
The Peacemaker of the Year:
has through his or her own actions helped create a peaceful and positive environment at school
•
shows understanding and respect towards different points of view
•
has been involved in solving some conflict(s) at the school
The Peacemakers of the Year each receive a diploma. You can download the diplomas from here:
