Increase the likelihood that peacebuilding initiatives will be successful and sustainable by empowering children, families and teachers with the tools, values and competencies necessary for better living together.

Cultivate the respect for human rights through teaching children, families and teachers how to render non-discrimination, inclusion and freedom of expression a reality in everyday living-together.
1. Grandir en paix au Liban!
A full project responding to the requests of the Ministry of Education in Lebanon (MEES, CRDP), to bring about the culture of peace, through quality education methods and psychosocial practices focusing on living together in harmony and violence transformation.
2. Child protection against school violence in Ivory Coast
A project focusing on the Tonkpi region where physical and psychological violence against children causes psychological wounds, fear, absenteeism and dropping out.
3. Integrating culture of peace education into the teacher curricula and the school curricula of Côte d'Ivoire.
This is the first of a kind whereby an NGO guides the Ministry experts for this priority goal, as there remains a high risk of political violence explosion, especially due to youth.
4. Applying the "Growing ip un peace" collection of teacher guides and student booklets in the public school of Bex, Switzerland
Bex has been ridden with violence and suffers also from the rejection of the migrants that have been installed here. This one year programme, financed by the Department of Education of the Vaud Canton and other bodies, aims to evaluate the social impact of our culture of peace programme on children's attitudes, behaviours and psychosocial competencies.
5. "Grandir ensemble" (Growing up together), an in-depth teacher guide and student booklets for developing intercultural intelligence.
This work will first serve the schools in French-speaking Switzerland, and is aimed to provide concrete experiential activities in response to the objectives of the Suisse Romande School programme for primary schools and preprimary classes (8 grades in total).
6. Guide for cu-ture of peace-developing activities for extracurricular programmes
