An occasion to meet
The occasion for participants in Villaggio della Pace is to share with, and to meet, each other. Each one of us has his or her own needs, but through knowledge we discover that some are common needs: emotions, vulnerability, impressions, sadness, dissatisfaction, elation or resilience are shared feelings. Co-sharing means shaping a more united and supportive community.This is a moment that expresses one of the values of Villaggio della Pace: it tries to link and connect opinions and lives from all around the world.
On the 21st of March the afternoon plenary session will be held in English to welcome international speakers and young people.
See you soon!

the project
Villaggio della Pace (Peace Village) was founded in Rome to give voice to young people from all around the world who, like you, choose to be actively engaged in the development of the society they live in and for whom peace is a fundamental value. You will have the chance to discuss with institutional representatives, secular and religious community leaders, representatives from civil society organisations, Nobel Peace Prize laureates and young activists to find and propose sustainable solutions to current global issues. Villaggio della Pace gives you the opportunity to express your opinions, to ask questions of world leaders and to propose new ideas to build an inclusive, non-discriminatory society based on peace and human rights. Moreover, we will reuse some public buildings in Rome (and other cities) that are not needed anymore to build a permanent peace lab, where you will be able to cooperate with your peers and organise recreational and cultural activities that promote peace.

A RICORDAR E VEDER LE STELLE
NO MORE VICTIMS OF MAFIA

«Chiunque è in grado di esprimere qualcosa deve esprimerlo al meglio. Questo è tutto quello che si può dire, non si può chiedere perché. Non si può chiedere ad un alpinista perché lo fa. Lo fa e basta. A scuola avevo un professore di filosofia che voleva sapere se, secondo noi, si era felici quando si è ricchi o quando si soddisfano gli ideali. Allora avrei risposto: Quando si è ricchi. Invece aveva ragione lui».
Giovanni Falcone
«Se la gioventù le negherà il consenso, anche l'onnipotente e misteriosa mafia svanirà come un incubo».
Paolo Borsellino
«Se si insegnasse la bellezza alla gente, la si fornirebbe di un'arma contro la rassegnazione, la paura e l'omertà. All'esistenza di orrendi palazzi sorti all'improvviso, con tutto il loro squallore, da operazioni speculative, ci si abitua con pronta facilità, si mettono le tendine alle finestre, le piante sul davanzale, e presto ci si dimentica di come erano quei luoghi prima, ed ogni cosa, per il solo fatto che è così, pare dover essere così da sempre e per sempre. È per questo che bisognerebbe educare la gente alla bellezza: perché in uomini e donne non si insinui più l'abitudine e la rassegnazione ma rimangano sempre vivi la curiosità e lo stupore».
Peppino Impastato
See you at 14:00 CET!
discovery diversity – on the trail of diversity
Discovering Diversity is a video game that will allow all players, regardless of their physical, sensory, personal, linguistic, cultural and religious characteristics, to experience a series of adventures throughout the Italian territory.
It is also a tool for educating about human diversity as a great opportunity to foster the encounter between cultures and religions, to recover intergenerational dialogue and to affirm the right to beauty and peace for all.

On the way to Peace
Villaggio della Pace wants to transform dialogues into educational paths, exported to different places: national institutions , classrooms, international meetings and Peace Marches with the aim of valuing and expanding the engagement of young people, civil society organisations, institutions, and Nobel Peace Prize laureates to develop education on peace and citizenship for children and young people.
A Peace March from Rome will pass through other Italian cities and arrive in the Middle East; let’s meet in the cities!
«Peace is a choice. Let’s learn to act together»
On the 21 September we will be surprised…
