The
Education for Peace, Globalnet, is an initiative of citizens who assume
their responsibilities for the planet, for the preservation of life, and
for the development of knowledge.
In
the year 2000 it organized its first International Meeting in Geneva,
Switzerland, dedicated to The Future of Our Children with the
sponsorship of UNESCO and The University of Geneva. One hundred
institutions from twenty two countries of four continents reported on
their projects related to children and youth.
A
stronger interaction was developed with the institutions involved with
the organization of the Geneva Meeting. Some of these institutions are
organized in a global scale and decided to implement the Education for
Peace Globalnet program as a joint, cooperative, international and
inter-institutional endeavor.
The
aim of this program is to foster and nurture the globalnet as a world
action and learning community.
This
website is designed to provide a personalized area for each
participating project, interactive spaces and devices to implement
cooperation in a world scale.
Meetings
are organized to:
-
strengthen
the internal "learning dynamics" of the people involved
with relevant projects on Education for Peace worldwide,
-
intensify
the interaction among the projects, and
-
work
on the process of "consensus formation" leading to actions
committed to the development of a culture of peace and non-violence.
The
gateway, interchange through internet, the meetings and cooperative
action among the projects are the main tools to make effective the
contribution of the Globalnet.
