GLOBAL MOVEMENT FOR A CULTURE OF PEACE

Dear CPNN readers and reporters,

This is the first bulletin since we announced that CPNN would now put a special emphasis on articles with a video available on the Internet, and we are pleased to say that during the month, we have put 10 new articles on line that are accompanied by videos.

We have also started a special section of discussion on Internet Videos, with the first question being "Understanding a culture of peace - what videos are available?" In response to this question, you will now find links to videos explaining the culture of peace by three of the pioneers in this field: Federico Mayor who was responsible for the "invention" of the culture of peace when he was Director-General at UNESCO from 1987 to 1999; David Adams, who was director of the UNESCO programme during that time;

and Anwarul Chowdhury who was responsible for passage of the culture of peace resolution by the United Nations General Assembly in 1999.

Please keep the culture of peace videos coming by sending us reviews, and enjoy those that we are able to list and link to on CPNN!
