The objectives

The goals of Peace now, taken from the statute (see Article 3), can be summarized as follows:

 

• To concretely serve the cause of peace, seeking and offering instruments to remove the causes and structures of both violence and injustice.
• Being a "window" to see and understand the world, in particular waht is not spoken about, and that we end up forgetting.
• Create opportunities for contact, dialogue and mediation.
• Realize concrete actions of international solidarity.
• Educating and sensitizing to peace, tolerance and globalization.

 

Studies, public meetings and cultural initiatives on the themes of Peace and Forgotten Wars

We highlight the conferences and information activities carried out in favor of Armenia Somalia, Lebanon, Congo, Brazil, Sudan, Bosnia, Kosovo and Albania. Other topics covered: water resources and peace, interreligious dialogue, the female condition in Africa, the micro-credit.

Peace Education

Peace is not the only the absence of war or conflict. The true peace is a set of positive conditions useful for a balanced development, without discrimination and violence, based on people respect and freedom. Aware of the importance to create and pursue these conditions, we strive to know that we must learn how to respect each other.

 

The paths of peace education are mainly addressed to schools and libraries and they want to be a moment of integration with what is perceived as "different".

 

This is why we use cultural tools ranging from fairy tales to music, from theater to writing. Everything aims to stimulate reflection and awareness that peace is not an utopia, but a proccess which arises from the will of the individual and from the actions / choices we make every day.
