You must be the change you want to see in the world

I suppose that education for a culture of peace has a great meaning: discovering in which way we all can make the world better for everybody, how can each of us make a difference.

It's not necessary to be a fundamentalist, our goal must not be perfection because perfection doesn't exist.
But the basic thing is striving to behave in a better way, starting from the knowledge of what happens in the wider world.
The most important thing is being aware of the impact of our actions on the entire world. Then we can choose for the best, according to our opinions and necessities.

The true enemy of peace is the one who leaves to other people the job of building it.

"You must be the change you want to see in the world" Mahatma Gandhi

Bruno Picozzi (in translation)
