El camino de La Paz

DEFENDER-SE SEM OFENDER !
Pe Zezinho scj
•••••••••••••••••••••••••

Aprendi na catequese a respeitar até quem não me respeita. Mas aprendi também a me defender sem violência. Eu não ofendo, mas eu me defendo sem armas.

Jesus se defendia sem armas. Correu o risco de morrer sem matar. E fez Pedro guardar a adaga na bainha .

Em tempo de ódio nas ruas e na internet, ou vc se arma ou vc
“ama “ até as pessoas de quem vc discorda.

Ser contra sem palavrões, sem fake news, sem quebra-quebra e sem calúnias é para poucos.

Os cristãos de verdade deveriam seguir este caminho ! Nas cadeias e nos cemitérios há muitíssimos que escolheram o caminho da violência.

Os que escolheram o caminho da paz também morrem, mas não matam. O sangue de Jesus era dele mesmo. Os que o mataram mancharam-se para sempre perante a História destes dois mil anos.

Thank you everyone for showing your interest in the Be Kind Project! At this time we have sent our first email with the lesson plans and resources. We will send another email in a few days reminding everyone to start reading with your kids. Can't wait to see pictures and reflections.

Passport to Peace has a kindness Project for October 2019. Its an International Reading Project. If you are interested in participating send me your email address to [email protected] and I will send you the resources and lesson plans.

Be Kind Project

Rationale: The Passport to Peace Foundation, presents the international project, Be Kind. The project will involve different elementary schools around the world. Its goals are to promote and enlighten a social exchange between the participants. They will share their respective knowledge, skills, attitudes and values taught in their schools or centers of study, so that all may mutually benefit.

Participation in an act of service to the community is one of the most effective learning methods for children. It enables them to find meaning in what they study when they apply their knowledge and skills.

A successful education forms socially responsible citizens who work to seek social justice.

Children are not citizens of the future, they are citizens of today because they are able to trigger change in their environment.

Children Sharing Values with Other Children– The Passport to Peace Program, aims to create bonds of brotherhood among the participating schools.

In October, all of the schools participating in the project will read the same book about Kindness. They will write reflections to be displayed in the shape of an umbrella, in each school. We will share our reflections via email and Skype and display them throughout each other’s schools.

Purpose: To provide children, parents, teachers, and community members of the participating schools the opportunity to be able to reflect about kindness and come up with an action plan by class on how they can show kindness in their class, school and communities. The schools will also have the opportunity to reflect on the importance of reading, and to recommend or purchase their favorite books and/ or authors to kids in need. This shared literacy experience will promote global tolerance and intercultural understanding through an exploration of kindness and empathy.

Stages of the Project

First Stage September 2019 – Investigation and promotion: Invite schools to promote the importance of reading and the value of Kindness and Empathy.

Second Stage Sept. 30th-Oct.11th – The introduction of the project: Be Kind. Steps of the program will be adapted for each school. Students will participate in reading and writing activities.

Third Stage 30th-Oct.11th –(optional) Schools participating in the project will start collecting books for kids in need (chosen by each school). These schools will also be participating in the reading project. This way your students will get to know them.

Fourth Stage Oct. 14th-18th – Students from around the world will write reflections to be displayed on an umbrella cut out. We will share our reflections via email and Skype and display them throughout each other’s schools.

Fifth Stage Oct. 14th-18th - Students will post their reflections on a large bulletin board in a central location in the school. At the same time, we invite schools to create a banner I choose to Be the “I” in Kind, take pictures and share them with other schools.
