What does peace mean to you?

On the occasion of the International Day of Peace, our students chose to go beyond the symbolic celebration of a single date, turning it into a week-long journey of activities, dialogue, and shared reflection.

The initiative stemmed from the students’ desire to draw the community’s attention to a theme that, in the historical moment we are living, feels more urgent than ever: peace. With a question both simple and universal – “What does peace mean to you?” – the students invited peers, teachers, and staff at H-FARM to respond in their own mother tongue, creating a chorus of voices that together formed a mosaic of diverse yet interconnected perspectives.

The answers revealed a wealth of meanings: peace as friendship, family, and community; as inner calm or freedom of expression; as the absence of fear and conflict, but also as the presence of love, dialogue, and collaboration. Different definitions converging on one shared awareness: peace is not an abstract concept, but a concrete responsibility that calls each of us to daily commitment.

Alongside the interviews, the students animated the Campus with boards and interactive spaces, transforming H-FARM into a living forum for dialogue and collective reflection.

The project culminated in the production of a video gathering the voices of the school community. A collective message — authentic and necessary — reminding us that peace is not only an ideal, but a real possibility that takes shape through our choices, our actions, and the way we live together.
