"Peace is a culture that we create by putting it in the curriculum for young people,
through creating this next generation where young people get a chance to go across
borders, across cultures, to learn more about each other's life, to create a global
community, learn about opportunities for helping others. It's investing in peace
and tolerance training, ending the gap between rich and poor."

| Remember that
consciousness is power. Consciousness is education and knowledge. Consciousness
is becoming aware. It is the perfect vehicle for students. Consciousness-raising
is pertinent for power, and be sure that power will not be abusively used, but
used for building trust and goodwill domestically and internationally. Tomorrow's
world is yours to build.

people may be engaged in. That everyone may receive at least a moderate education

child should be given the wish to learn."
