WILPF Ghana will describe project about Educating for Peace of students on active listening, dialogue, mediation, and cooperative learning. The key message is that a culture of peace and non-violence goes to the substance of fundamental human rights: social justice, democracy, literacy, respect and dignity for all, equality between men and women, and the preservation of the natural environment. WILPF Norway will look at culture of peace as basis for an alternative strategy to provide human security. The Norwegian Peace Council will give final remarks and some ideas for the way forward.
