Rondine Cittadella della Pace is a non for profit Association whose mission is to promote peace and intercultural dialogue. The Association is lead by the President who is appointed by the Board and engages around 30 people (5 employees, 10 consultants and 15 volunteers). The yearly budget is around 500.000 euros, provided by Regional and local institutions, private companies and individual donors. The association runs an International Hall of Residence where young students from war torn areas around the world live and study together. Also, the Association organizes seminars and meetings on peace keeping and dialogue among religions.
Mission and Objectives

Rondine Cittadella della Pace’s aim is to support reconciliation between countries who are facing conflicts. The main objective is to give students coming from Eastern Europe, Caucasus, Africa and Middle East, the opportunity of taking part in the formative experience of communal life at the International Hall of Residence which forms the basis of a new culture of peace. Once their studies are completed, the young students return to their home countries as witnesses to the possibilities of dialogue and reconciliation in their professional and civil lives.

Main Projects / Activities

Together with the activities of the International Hall of Residence, Rondine Cittadella della Pace hosts the European School of Peace Studies that consist of a programme of seminars and meetings at a variety of levels:”Peace Days” for elementary and middle school children, “Study Days” for high school students and “Peace Studies Seminars” for University students, as well as for academics and professionals. Also, Rondine organizes meetings on interreligious subjects attended by representatives of various religions coming from all over the world
