A strong mobilisation

From September 2017, we will largely call on groups, families, associations and official institutions and ask them to develop building peace actions. We want the greatest number of people possible to come to the gathering in April 2018 with their experience. They will be able to see that their little action is an important part in the bigger collective project towards fair peace.

Cycles of 40 conferences

Conferences entitled « From fair war to the challenge of fair peace » will take place from October 2017 to April 2018 in the Nord and the Pas-de- Calais.

Discover the other by the deconstruction of prejudices and thus fight against fear,
To realize that the conflict will always exist, but that the confrontation is not inevitable,
Experiencing that distant peace begins with peace with oneself and with one’s home,
Remember the past, to make it present today and prepare the future,

These activities are experienced in groups, in class or with family, but also with other nations, through exchanges as part of a twinning, or correspondence.
