Students involved in Ethics, Aesthetics and Citizenship Program at Liceo De Motavia High School in Costa Rica. Students are involved in a range of activities designed to contribute to social harmony and peace. Here we see students in the first photograph explaining the voting system for a mock election. Costa Rica has no army and understanding the voting system of a constitutional democracy is very important. Students and teachers in the second photograph are using music to develop the cultural aspect of the school. See more photographs of Costa Rican schools in the Photos section.
