Viqueque, November 16, 2024 (Média Democracia) – The President of the Republic through the Advisor of the Human Fraternity Unity led by Advisor Nuno Horta continues to socialize the Human Fraternity document to students of the Central Elementary School 01 Viqueque and the High School 04 de Setembro in Viqueque, during November 14-15.
According to Nuno Horta, the importance of this activity is to provide ideas to the younger generation about social life in the current era to live as brothers in the family and society.
The advisor further explained that this document is also related to child care, which means not prohibiting but controlling them in free association at school and in daily life in the family, so that they can live in an environment that can guarantee their future, especially in accessing education and life freely based on cultural values and human rights.
“This document also calls for attention to grandparents, the poor, and people with disabilities in society, including those who are under pressure from others. The Document on Human Fraternity was also signed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar on February 4, 2019 with the aim of giving thought to all people to consider each other as brothers in order to adhere to justice and peace in the world and respect human rights and religious freedom.” Nuno Horta emphasized.
Timor-Leste adopted the Human Fraternity document as a national document in 2019 through the approval of the National Parliament and according to plans by 2025 it will be included in the curriculum in primary and secondary schools.
In addition, according to the Deputy Director of School 4 de Setembro Viqueque, he considered that this socialization was good because it became a subject, in order to create friendship and make society live peacefully, and considered this document important to be included in the school curriculum because this subject is more related to the sense of patriotism and nationalism for students.
