2nd Mumbai Festival Forum: Building a Culture of Peace
VIEW EVENT DETAILSThe creation of a world which embraces the principles of non-violence, respect for human rights, sustainable development, and cultural diversity faces many challenges. Global trends threaten entire segments of societies with social, economic, and cultural marginalization. Conflicts abound in many parts of the world. The Culture of Peace is a set of values, attitudes, modes of behaviour, and ways of life that reject violence and prevent conflicts by tackling their root causes.
As we enter the final year of the UN Decade for a Culture of Peace, the 2nd Festival Forum explores the "building blocks" that are necessary for, or are being created to construct, this elusive Peace. The Forum assesses the challenge from a historical perspective through contributions that help us look at the roads we have taken, the options and opportunities available.
