Promoters.

president of DIF Maru Carreño de Marquez announced

a pilot test conducted during the semester from
January to June on campus. "We want to do our bit
to promote peace in our environment through the
actions of these peace promoters not only in their
classrooms and their school, but also in their
families in order to strengthen the integration
and multiply of an open society."
In weekly sessions, 35 students took part in the
training with topics such as group formation,
teamwork, leadership, self-awareness, self-esteem,
communication, emotional management, conflict and
peace.

changes in their attitude and better work in the
classroom as a result of this process.

operation of the State DIF project, said that
teachers and parents were also involved, and as a
result one can see progress in group identity,
development of proposals to prevent violence in
the school, better family life, better performance
in mathematics, among others.
"From now on, we are committed to promoting peace,
based on trust and support, along with teachers and
parents with a commitment to these young peace
promoters. to participate together in this
lifestyle: the culture of peace," said Maru Carreño.
