Mission and Objectives

The activities that the Peace School develops are aimed to the peace education of youngsters and adults and start from a consideration of the slaughter led by SS troops with the help of Fascist elements (29th of September -5th October 1944) and from the knowledge of the mechanisms of violence that carried it out, through the memory of the witnesses and of the place itself as a dumb witness and a guardian of that past. This memory is used in order to promote peace and nonviolent transformation of conflicts, personal responsibility and active citizenship.

Main Projects / Activities

• the projects of educational experiences, in particular for young people, to encourage and promote the dialogue and the comparison among different human beings, people and cultures, even in the perspective of a possible reconciliation (international “Peace in 4 voices” camps);

• the managing of a point of contact and comparison for groups, public and private bodies, associations and people who wants to commit themselves in the defense and promotion of peace and of the values of freedom and justice, fundamental lines for the decentralized cooperation.
