How can culture of peace be developed at the municipal level?

This initiative was proposed by the mayor of the city, Cristina Cravero, and planned by the Coordinator of the University Chair, Maria Alba Navarro.

Members of the Río Primero community participated in the event: primary and secondary level teachers; firefighters, health professionals, justices of the peace, members of the municipal management team, among others.

The meeting and training space was proposed to address concepts related to the culture of peace and peaceful coexistence, ending with the creation of proposals aimed at improving coexistence in the community.
