For this week’s Thankful Thursday, I wrote gratitude notes to my colleagues Ingy, Cedric, and Imrat. Each of them has been a wonderful presence in my professional life, and I want to acknowledge their kindness and support. Ingy has been an amazing buddy during many courses, and we’ve grown into wonderful friends. Cedric often offers me rides and is a great source of inspiration with his positive attitude. Imrat’s humor and thoughtfulness always bring joy to the workplace. These small acts of recognition can foster a positive environment, reflecting the core values of peace education—building connections, kindness, and mutual respect. This daily peace action aligns with the goals of peace education by promoting gratitude and positive relationships. Expressing thanks builds a sense of community, fosters mutual respect, and cultivates a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. By recognizing the good in others, we encourage empathy and help reduce conflict, key elements in creating a peaceful, harmonious learning and working environment. As a teacher, incorporating this practice of gratitude into my daily routine encourages mindfulness and emotional intelligence, which can also be extended to students. Encouraging them to express gratitude for one another would foster a classroom atmosphere rooted in respect and kindness.
