Chiusa di Pesio students inaugur symbolic peace garden

Students from the secondary school of the Istituto Comprensivo di Chiusa di Pesio are inaugurating the ‘Giardino dei germogli di Pace: Abir e Smadar, fiori tra i fiori’ (Garden of Peace Buds) on October 8. Located in the courtyard of the Ezio Alberione Civic Library, the symbolic flowerbed was created following a teaching program based on the book ‘Mio padre, tuo padre’.

The book tells the story of an Israeli and a Palestinian father who transformed the loss of their daughters, Abir and Smadar, into a message of dialogue and reconciliation. The initiative aims to educate the community against the logic of war and division. During the event, students will also hold a solidarity sale of ‘Bulbi della Pace’ (Peace Bulbs) in exchange for voluntary donations.
