January 30th we celebrate Peace Day at IES El Fontanal, and we think it´s a great opportunity to remember how important it is to live in a more peaceful world. Some of John Lennon´s songs are among the most famous " Peace Anthems", and Imagine was named the most relevant song in the XX Century; it is really a universal song. Have a look at the
following presentation and listen to the song. Enjoy!
