The Education Department of Almoradí Town Council has marked the School Day of Peace, held on 30 January, by distributing a specially designed deck of cards to all Infant and Primary classes in the town. The initiative aims to encourage positive behaviour and promote a culture of peace among young people through play and classroom discussion.

A total of 103 card decks have been delivered to the five local schools: CEIP Pascual Andreu, CEIP Canales y Martínez, CEIP Manuel de Torres, CEIP Heredades, and the state-funded Santa María de la Huerta school. The cards form part of the “Amar Almoradí” project, which helps pupils and their families to get to know the town better so they can value it and care for it.

The deck, proposed by the International Association of Educating Cities, uses paired illustrations similar to a memory game to contrast positive and negative behaviours. It includes three levels of difficulty and guidance for classroom use, encouraging dialogue, inclusion, and respect.

Education councillor Susana Miralles has praised the commitment of local schools to the project, highlighting the importance of promoting everyday actions such as recycling, caring for public spaces, helping others, and rejecting discrimination as part of building a peaceful and caring community.
