Tve-t Dili, April 23 2024 – President Jose Ramos-Horta is throwing his full support behind an initiative to promote the values of the Document on Human Fraternity throughout Timor-Leste’s educational system, with socialization efforts targeting junior high, senior high, and university level students across the country.
The Document, signed in 2019 by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, calls for embracing “the values of peace, justice, goodness, beauty, human fraternity and coexistence.”
At a gathering today, Chief of Staff Jesuína Maria Ferreira Gomes said the president’s office will soon begin socializing the Human Fraternity principles in all municipalities and disseminating the Document to students of various ages. She invited representatives from government ministries, religious communities, and civil society to be actively involved in the process.
The president’s Advisory Office for Human Fraternity Affairs is coordinating the nationwide socialization and dissemination efforts, though no timeline was provided for when the concepts would formally enter school curricula.
