As you see, CPNN has taken on a new format. It has also taken on new teams of reporters. The first team consists of the youth who made the World Report on the Culture of Peace and who continue to present the results of the report at meetings around the world. The second team began to send stories from the Dynamo Camp meeting in Italy of the International Leadership Training Program for Human Rights, organized by the UNESCO Chair and Institute of Comparative Human Rights of the University of Connecticut (USA). For photos of these teams, see ABOUT US.

We are also looking for reporters and correspondents to be part of our team. Interested? Contact us directly at decade@decade-culture-of-peace.org !

To repeat, The UN Decade has ended, but "the global movement for a culture of peace is just beginning." Help us make it grow!
