Interpreting the Theme of Peace
§ Inner peace - activities which can promote peace within the person, such as walking, prayer, meditation, relaxation, music, being in peaceful places;
§ Peace within the family – family members enjoy a shared activity together - a meal, a reunion, a trip. Family members resolve differences in non-violent ways;
§ Peace in the neighbourhood and community – conflicts at school or between friends are resolved in peace; or
§ Peace within and between nations - conflicts between groups and nations are resolved peacefully, for example by holding elections, by sharing resources, by helping those in greatest need.

In 1999 they started a research, education and diffusion initiative based on the close relationship between all forms of Art and Peace. From the perspective of art it is possible to contribute not only to culture but to the construction of a culture of peace in the world.
