Peace Education
8th A grade
Dr. Bernady Gyorgy School
Targu Mures
On the 5th of December 2019 a partnership between our school and HWPL (Heavenly
Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) from Korea, was signed.
The pilot class where we had the 1st lesson was the 7th A. The students have learnt
interesting elements from the traditions of different countries, they have learnt about the
importance of tolerance and respecting other people’s traditions, they have played a “true-
false” game, they discussed opinions about peace and its meaning for mankind, they have
received a first lesson about peace. The lesson was held by Mr. William Nam, HWPL leader,
who knew how to raise the students’ interest, created a pleasant atmosphere, rewarded the
students who gave correct answers and motivated all the students to participate to the
activities. The themes discussed were about current issues in the world and the students were
excited to learn less known things about Korea’s civilisation and other topics.
The project was to take place over a period of 2 school years and in that time
(December 2019- May 2021) the students participated to 12 lessons proposed by HWPL and
taught by teacher Diana Pitea.
Below you can learn more about the activities that our
students had during the 2 years (2019-2021).
