Peace is not simply the absence of war.
Voy x la Paz — concerts and gatherings across Latin America
Living in peace means living together with respect, embracing difference as a necessary condition for a society to grow. Inequity, unequal opportunities, social injustice and structural poverty are all an absence of peace.
We believe that it is not only a Nobel laureate, a president or a social activist who can build peace. Peace is a construction that begins with an individual decision and contributes to something that has to be collective. We can all act for peace if we want a less violent world.
Programs with schools
We see education as one of the most powerful tools we have. We have a long track record of working with schools in Rosario: at every meeting we discuss with students what they understand by democracy, peace, slavery, human trafficking, grooming, bullying and cyberbullying.
If you are part of an institution and would like information about our talks, write to us at info@democraciainternacional.org.
