From February 24th to March 5th, 2010
On February 21st, 2010, the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó invites for participation in a commemorial celebration. Exactly five years ago, eight of their comrades and council members lost their lives in a massacre. It is important to the community to honour and to remember these human beings who so courageously and strongly had commited themselves to life and peace.
Our remembrance of them melts together with a decisive commitment for a different future.
Together with the Peace Community de San José de Apartadó we offer an educational meeting following the commemoration days (February 19-22) in the framework of the Global Campus (Tamera) led by Sabine Lichtenfels and the Universidad de Resistencia of Colombia. This event will take place from Februay 24th to March 5th and will continue to deepen the first and successful Peace Education Meeting which was held in October 2008. This time the education will address itself mainly to the younger generation.
The content of the education among other topics comprises the following:
social competence, conflict resolution and community development
autonomy in health care and alternative medicine
basic application of solar technology
culture and art as elements of non-violent resistance
Young people from different parts of Colombia and from other countries, from peace villages, from indigenous communities, resistance groups and different initiatives against violence and war have been invited.
Peace education for young people ranks high on Tamera's priorities of tasks.We want more and more youth to get to know viable alternatives to the globalisation of violence and to become familiar with professions which allow them to invest their power and drive into a future without war.
These educational meetings are not financed by any of the known public or state agencies. All teachers offer their knowledge free of charge. Nevertheless expenses occur, i.e. travelling costs and food & lodging for the teachers, scholarships for colombian and international youth as well as the costs for the organisation of the meeting on-site in San José de Apartadó.
We therefore cordially invite all of you, friends and interested parties, to support this meeting with a donation, be it small or large.
Investing love, knowledge and the necessary financial means into the younger generation of today may be the most important contribution we all can make – and a satisfying one at that!
Please do not hesitate to donate!
Together we move ahead - with gratitude for your friendship and solidarity,
The Peace Research Community of Tamera
