General Education School No. 109 in Mongolia Holds HWPL Peace Education Completion Ceremony

– First outcome of partnership between HWPL and the Lifelong Learning Center of Nalaikh District; completion of HWPL’s 12-lesson Peace Education curriculum –

 

 

On October 17, a completion ceremony for the HWPL Peace Education program was held for Grade 9, Section 1 at General Education School No. 109 in Nalaikh District, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. This meaningful event marked the conclusion of a five-month course based entirely on HWPL’s official 12-lesson curriculum, jointly operated with the Lifelong Learning Center of Nalaikh District. Forty-five students, together with school officials and distinguished guests, attended the event, sharing a warm and meaningful time together.

HWPL began its official collaboration with the Lifelong Learning Center in 2025. Starting in May of the same year, counselor and educator Batbayar, affiliated with the center, formally conducted the full 12-lesson Peace Education program for Grade 9, Section 1 at School No. 109.

 

 

The program followed HWPL’s official curriculum and focused on fostering inner reflection and cultivating a culture of peace among students. Throughout the course, students engaged in activities such as “Making a Peace Tree” and the “From Heart to Heart” peace letter exchange, which helped them learn to understand one another more deeply and cultivate empathy. The HWPL Mongolia Delegation sponsored symbolic prizes for student activities, adding meaningful educational value to the program.

Many attendees described the ceremony as inspiring and moving. Students expressed their joy with bright smiles as they received certificates and gifts presented by HWPL. Notably, Grade 9, Section 1—once regarded as the most disorderly and conflict-prone class in the school—showed a remarkable transformation, leaving a deep impression on both the principal and teachers. This change has been viewed as clear evidence of the practical impact of peace education.

 

 

This peace education completion ceremony at General Education School No. 109 not only led to tangible change among students but also earned strong interest and support from local community leaders, laying the groundwork for the expansion of peace education throughout Nalaikh District. HWPL and the Lifelong Learning Center of Nalaikh District plan to continue their close partnership and implement additional programs that promote a culture of peace among youth in Mongolia.
