We want to live in Peace
The second day of our meeting has finished. What can be said about it? It's been a day full of emotions. We started the day emphasizing the need of showing EMPATHY, namely, the ability to understand another person's feelings and experiences. The latter was our most important goal of the day. In fact, after sharing the previous work made both, in Ostrów and Barakaldo, focused on poetry (Emily Dickinson), music (Cat Stevens, Melanie Safka) and history (Ostrów and Barakaldo at war), and explained by some students, the Comenius students have composed several poems and lyrics devoted to PEACE. Undoubtedly, they will be the basis for our final anthem.
But the core activity took place at 11:30 h. It was a meeting with Mari Carmen Hernández, whose husband was killed by the terrorist group ETA in 2000. While she was telling her sad story, everyone listened in silence. Undoubtedly, her testimony has made a profound impression on all of us. She could recover from the tragic loss of her husband. Her deep beliefs and faith have been helpful in this regard. It's been difficult to hold back our tears... Thanks, Mari Carmen, for encouraging us to fortify our peaceful convictions and beliefs!
