Star Wars has released a heartstring-tugging new video montage celebrating the holiday with a subtle message in light of the coronavirus pandemic that might just restore our faith in the galaxy.

Star Wars Day began as an unofficial fan meme, occurring annually on this date because of the convenient wordplay on the film’s tagline, “May the 4th be with you.” The holiday has since been officially adopted by the Star Wars organization.

The one-minute, 40-second video features sentimental snippets from various Star Wars productions going back to the 1977 original, and including spinoff cartoon Clone Wars. Halfway through the reel, a voiceover reads one line: 

“When you find people who need your help, you help them - no matter what.”

This day also marked the long-awaited finale to The Clone Wars (cartoon), which began in 2008 but was abruptly canceled in 2013 during Disney’s acquisition of Lucas film, leaving fans to wonder what had been in store for the final seasons.

By the way, Oscar-winning writer-director Taika Waititi Jojo Rabbit has been confirmed to create Star Wars film adventure in Star Wars universe with 1917 writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns. The movie does not yet have a release date.

However, you have the last Star Wars 2019, Star Wars episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker  by J.J Abrams:

In the riveting conclusion of the landmark Skywalker saga, new legends will be born-and the final battle for freedom is yet to come.

All the characters you have ever loved prepare to fight to the death against the Dark Side. But in spite of all the horror, this is Star Wars. And there is hope, always hope, and the power of the mysterious Force...

If you're already back to school, or will be back soon, stay safe!

Hope and resilience! Be kind to those who need you. And patient with your students! It's a difficult time to you and to them.

They would never thought to watch the horrendous news and images. And sometimes feeling apart from their family, a grandmother or a grandfather. Missing the school mates and friends, even from teachers and school.

March in review & Intl day of Sport for Development and Peace

http://www.unesco.org/

"There is no more powerful platform for promoting shared values than sport."

Irina Bokova

UNESCO Director-General

Today, the 6 April we are celebrating the 4th International Day of Sport for Development and Peace. 

In August 2013, the sixty-seventh session of the UN General Assembly decided to proclaim 6 April as the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.

"Due to its vast reach, unparalleled popularity and foundation of positive values, sport is ideally positioned to contribute towards the United Nations’ objectives for development and peace."

UN

In August 2014, the World Youth Forum on Sport, Culture, and Peace was organized by UNESCO and the Nanjing Municipal Government, bringing young men and woman together from across the world to explore common challenges and solutions.

Education:

"Sport is a way to include everyone."

Irina Bokova

UNESCO Director-General

According to UNICEF play is not only a child’s inalienable right – it also influences physical, socio-emotional and cognitive development. 

The right to play is protected in Article 31 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the right to sport, which is specifically contained in other international treaties. 

In European schools, i'ts the last week before Spring break. Teachers will find a way to include the values of sport in cross-curricular project led by Sport teacher.
