Three-day inter-school peace activities (summer camp)- cum-peace and peace building workshop was organised by Peace Channel at North East Institute of Social Sciences and Research (NEISSR) conference hall, Bishop House Dimapur, under the theme “Passion for excellence”.
The programme was organised with an objective to continue re-enforcement of the realization among the quality peace club members.
Special guest, NEISSR vice principal, Rev. Fr. John Poji, appreciated the organizers for giving a platform to the younger generation in the field of peace building. He also exhorted the participants by stressing on “harmony and peaceful society” and urged the students to keep contributing in every possible way to make society a better place to live in.
The programme dealt with different topics on “peace and peace building” led by Vikhuli Achumi basing on the concept of “being human, love and support everyone despite of our differences because at the end we are all the same – human beings”. Henry took a session on “passion for excellence”. David Mhathung, the project co-ordinator took a session on “leadership skills” and involved the participants into different exercises which helped the participants to learn more about leadership skills through the exercises. John took a session on “unity in diversity”. He emphasized on the concept that every individual is different and every individual has an important role to play.
The programme started with an invocation prayer by Sr. Clare, welcome address from David Mhathung, project coordinator and introductory session from Patrick W. Tungoe. The camp concluded with vote of thanks by the district co-ordinator followed by a benediction by Rev. Fr. John Poji.
