Development of Peace Thinking and Peace Education by NGOs in Russia
an article by Dr.Valery Guerguel, director of Museum of Peacekeeping Operations, Moscow

Readers of CPNN may be interested in the following results of a survey I recently made concerning peace activities by NGOs in Russia.

I found the following seven initiatives which are listed along with the name of the NGO that is conducting them:

1. Publication of series of books on Culture of Peace (1996-2006) by the Non-commercial NGO - "Center "Ethnosphere"

2. Draft convention on Peace Education (2003-2006) by the International Movement "Teachers for Peace and Mutual Understanding"

3. Assemblies of Generations (2000-2006) by the International Movement "Teachers for Peace and Mutual Understanding" in collaboration with RUSMOL and others

4. "Model United Nations" Project by the UN Association of Russia, Moscow International High School

5. "Young Ambassadors of Peace" Project (2004-2006) by the "Children of Russia" Fund, Federation of Peace Funds in collaboration with Government of Moscow and others

6. Training Course of Peace Builders by the Institute of Culture of Peace in Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan)

7. Museum of Culture of Peace by the "Aspects of Education" school

If CPNN readers know of other initiatives that I have missed, I would appreciate their replies.
