On Monday students from the Year 13 Philosophy and Ethics group visited an event at Bellerive to hear international Pax Christi speaker Nicholas Paz.

Professor Paz is a director of the Catholic Nonviolence Initiative, and spoke about his experiences with violence and difference approaches to conflict resolution. The students completed an excercise which explored the idea of teamwork and encouraged pupils to think about how many groups may be manipulated into feeling like they are in competition with one another - rather than recognising our shared goals and values as a whole human race.

The pupils found this really beneficial and also made a great Philosophy connection as Nicholas is a Philosophy Professor in Spain.
