“We must help him to develop within himself that which will make him capable of understanding. It is not merely words, it is a labour of education. This will be a preparation for peace – for peace cannot exist without justice”
-Maria Montessori, Citizen of the World, p. 38
Dear Colleagues, as Dr. Maria Montessori said, “The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.” Today, this promise has never felt more urgent. We are called to create an education that nurtures peace, justice, and understanding. It’s our duty to equip young people not only to comprehend the world they are entering but to actively shape it. Climate denial, xenophobia, inequality, and nationalism threaten our shared future. We cannot let the past write the future; every day, we choose through our actions, our words, and our relationships what tomorrow will be. Together our focus on peace education is now all the more critical for the creation of a more just, equitable,and sustainable world .
