CULTURE OF PEACE

Peace Culture is a key area to affirm associative values, its message and its global transformative mission. Through international cooperation (understanding as a collaboration between North and South), awareness-raising in Catalonia, the encouragement of networking and other projects (not easily classifiable), Culture of Pau encourages learning, exchange, awareness, multiplication and transformation. The topics focused are mainly the nonviolent resistance of the peoples, training for human rights, democracy, social inclusion, the social and solidarity economy, training for participation and social and community transformation. Attention groups are mainly young people active in their communities, educators / teachers, journalists and media activists, aid workers, cultural promoters, schools and entertainment. The geographical areas of special interest are, apart from Catalonia and Spain, the Meda countries, Africa, Latin America and Asia.
