First, there was a performance representing the different cultures of the world. Next, a speaker spoke to the students about the importance of Education in building peace and at the end, there was a universal Prayer for Peace performed by leaders of different religions.

"Our students come from different parts of the world, speak different languages and present rich and diverse cultural traditions. But in our corridors and classrooms, respect and tolerance always reign. We are proud to promote inclusion, tolerance, and respect for all because it is mainly through Education that we will achieve a more just and peaceful world", says Stephen Blackburn, Principal of St. Dominic's International School.
