Launch of the website Discover Peace in Europe
an article by Coordination for the education of non -violence and peace

In the context of the project " Discover Peace in Europe "in which the Coordination participates, "peace walks" are being developed in seven European cities, including Paris. They allow one to discover - or rediscover - the culture of peace and non -violence in our cities.

The website www.discoverpeace.eu has just been launched to present the peace walks and invite visitors to follow them .

You can also visit the Facebook page of project Discover Peace in Europe.

Since 2012 , the Coordination is engaged in a new European partnership within the Grundtvig Programme. Funded by the European Commission , the aim of this program is to promote adult education in the Union.

The new project , entitled "Discover Peace in Europe" aims to establish paths of peace in 7 European cities: Berlin , Budapest , The Hague , Manchester, Paris , Turin and Vienna .

From 12 to 15 July 2013 , the partner organizations met in Paris to take stock of progress during the the months since the beginning of the project and determine the next steps. A half day was devoted to the peace walk, which was very much appreciated and has received numerous favorable comments from the partners .

The course will soon be available on the Internet. On the pleasant guided walk, participants discover the presence of peace in Paris. Stay tuned in!

The Coordination has so far developed 5 peace walks in Paris, each achievable on a half-day , with a total of about 40 stops that are significant fo non-violence and peace. The finishing touches on these peace walks will be completed in March 2013, before moving on to the editing phase of the project.

As part of the Grundtvig project, the Coordination will travel to Turin in May 2013 to meet the various European partners in the program before hosting a meeting in Paris during the summer.
