I have seen much change in Northern Ireland in the 32 years since I won the Nobel Peace Prize, yet some things remain the same. I still see wars raging around the world, and children suffering from the effects of conflicts started by adults.

We hope this joint appeal will encourage the world to listen to our important message that education can promote peace.
