International Peace Day, established by the United Nations in 1981, is a day dedicated to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations. This year’s theme is, “Building a Culture of Peace.” The Montessori method places great emphasis on Peace Education, teaching children to resolve conflicts peacefully, understand different cultures, and foster kindness and empathy in their daily lives.
