peace activist Joaquín Antuña. Since the beginning this

organization promotes Creativity for Peace through several

initiatives, the most well-known its School Award. The work of

this Foundation has been acknowledged by the United

Nations, which granted the "Messenger of Peace" recognition

in 1987 and the Special Consultative Status with ECOSOC in

1999. So far more than one million teachers and students

from all around the world have taken part in the Annual

Technology is ubiquitous in our lives from the moment we first come into the world. Thanks to technology, we are able to carry out a variety of everyday tasks: wake up, predict the weather, cook, care for crops, move from one point to another, communicate… In what way does technology help you or what do you use it for in your daily activities? Express what ways technology helps you through a drawing, in DIN-A4 format (maximum size).

The internet has increased worldwide access to knowledge, yet there are still areas where internet connection is uncommon, often leading to a cultural and knowledge gap, known as the digital gap. What learning opportunities does the internet offer? Why does the internet increase the gain of knowledge, cooperation and world progress? Express your answer through a poster and a short text supporting it. Minimum format DIN-A3 (29,7x42cm) and maximum format 50x 70 cm.

Despite the big advantages that technology has contributed to progress, its bad use can have disastrous consequences. How can you use technology in a just way and in a way that generates intellectual growth, development and freedom? What role do institutions and international rights play in the fair use of technology? Express your answer through a mural.

There exist countless international initiatives, which use new technologies to bring cultures, languages and apprenticeships among centres of various countries. In the fight against the digital gap, centres of various countries can establish technological ties, which help to mitigate this effect. Present your “twinning” project among centres.
