In Grafing, schoolchildren want to set an example against the war in Ukraine.

A peace march will take place on Friday, April 29th

Grafing – The current war in Ukraine has been raging for more than five weeks, two countries further east in Europe are at war.

Unspeakable hardship, violence, terror and destruction are forcing many people, especially children, to flee.

This does not leave children and young people unaffected, because they know that it is no longer a computer game.

They feel fear and anger in the face of the images they are confronted with, but above all they feel helpless in the face of the events of the war, which they were previously unaware of.

Various relief actions such as fundraisers and collection days for money and certain supplies for Ukraine have already taken place in schools and elsewhere.

The peace light chain in mid-March in Ebersberg, in which schools, youth groups and kindergartens in particular took part, was a strong sign of solidarity with the people threatened by war.

The two initiators, Mrs. Kühnlein and Mrs. Scharfenberg, teachers from Ebersberg, are now organizing another campaign calling for a peaceful Europe, for the universality of human rights and the protection of people.

On Friday, April 29th, a peace march for all victims of the war in Ukraine is to take place in downtown Grafing, in which all schools from Ebersberg, Grafing and Kirchseeon can take part.

In addition, all kindergartens and youth organizations and of course all adults are invited to join.

The mayors of Grafing and Ebersberg, Christian Bauer and Ulrich Proske, have jointly taken over the patronage of the solidarity event.

The Drumlines group will lead the procession, which will take a route from the Volksfestplatz and pick up everyone involved at various places, before bringing everyone together at the market square for a final round together.

Anyone who would like to join the peace march is welcome to do so: from 6 p.m. at the Grafing festival site, from 6.10 p.m. at the Grafing S-Bahn station and from 6.20 p.m. at the kath.Kirche/Öxinger Platz.red
