10 years of Culture of Peace... 10 articles of Culture of Peace

This initiative of the Foundation for a Culture of Peace, in close partnership with Inter Press Service (IPS) is about a series of ten articles written by renowned international figures such as Federico Mayor, Mário Soares, Wangari Maathai, José Saramago, Gunnar Stålsett, Roberto Savio and Anwarul K. Chowdhury. The articles reflect and debate the culture of peace in its multiple dimensions, including its relationship with media, education, youth, religion, the environment and human rights.

This initiative goes beyond a simple tenth anniversary and aims at creating spaces for reflection and the promotion of the necessary transformations at all levels. The objective of the initiative is to go from a culture of imposition, force and war to a culture of dialogue, justice, cooperation and peace.

The participation of IPS in this project guarantees a wide impact through the international media and contributes the added value of journalist excellence to the initiative.

At the same time, agreements have been made with an important number of written media (newspapers, magazines, blogs, etc…) in order to ensure a wide distribution of the articles, especially in some spaces that otherwise would have not been reached.
