Our Message for the day

Our environment is important for us. Not only locally but also globally around the world. Today it's time to lay focus on the environment. We do this special deed together with thousands of students, parents and teachers around the world. We plant trees today in the North, South, East and West. The first trees are planted in Oceania. Then, following the Sun, trees will be planted in Asia, Europe and Africa. The last trees will be put to Earth on Hawaii and Cook Islands. Schools in over 100 countries are planting trees with us. Trees that we plant today are included as a part of big campaign by Environment Online – ENO, a school and community network for sustainable development. Today we are also celebrating the international day of biological biodiversity. The slogan is "Our solutions are in nature", emphasizing hope, solidarity and the importance of working together at all levels to build a future of life in harmony with nature

Tree is a symbol for us. Firstly, it reminds us of nature and the importance of climate and environmental protection. Secondly, it symbolizes our co-operation between schools and people around the world. We live in different cultures but appreciate their richness. We respect the rights of everyone, also nature and animals. Let’s mark these trees as peace trees and grow together with our trees towards better future.
