SMA Fathers endorse the MANIFESTO 2000
for a culture of peace and non-violence

respect the life and dignity of every person without discrimination or prejudice;

practise active non-violence, rejecting violence in all its forms: physical, sexual, psychological, economical and social, in particular towards the most deprived and vulnerable such as children and adolescents;

share my time and material resources in a spirit of generosity to put an end to exclusion, injustice and political and economic oppression;
defend freedom of expression and cultural diversity giving preference always to dialogue and listening rather than fanaticism, defamation and the rejection of others;
promote consumer behaviour that is responsible and development practices that respect all forms of life and preserve the balance of nature on the planet;

contribute to the development of my community, with the full participation of women and respect for democratic principles, in order to create together new forms of solidarity.
