This month we go to Ivory Coast to hear about training of young people, aged between 8 and 16, in the values of peace and non-violence in the school environment.
This was part of the third Peace Camp initiated by REST-COR (which itself was begun by the Shalom Center for Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation). The theme for this year’s Camp was “Environmental Protection – a mission for me as a peacemaker.” The Camp was run and organized by for Michele Savagdogo SMA. The Programme was a combination of lessons, practical activities, a visit to a forest and of course relaxation and games related to the theme. The aim of the programme was to make a contribution to instilling the value of peace in the rising generation.
