Rencontre Internationale de Jeunes pour la Culture de Paix
an article by Cedric Desmarais

J'ai participé dans la Rencontre Internationale de Jeune pour la Culture de Paix qui s'est déroulée du 8 au 15 juillet à l'initiative du Mouvement de la Paix. Elle fut subventionné par le Plan Européen pour la Jeunesse en Action et labellisé "Année Internationale de la Jeunesse" par l'ONU.

Une centaine de jeunes de diverses nationalités se sont rassemblés autour de plusieurs table ronde et ateliers. Nous avons rédigé grâce aux attendus des débat un Appel International de Jeune pour la Culture de paix. Nous avons également pu organiser une manifestation commune sur la base militaire de Avord d'où partent les avions français AWAX pour la guerre en Libye et où sont pratiqué des test d'armes à l'Uranium appauvri.

Nous avons travaillé sur les 8 points de la culture de paix lors de nos débat et les jeunes ont appris a s'apprécier par de là leur différence culturelle suscitant ainsi une ambiance de bonne camaraderie.

Je vous transmet le lien vers le site de la rencontre sur lequel vous trouverez note Appel ainsi qu'un résumé quotidien de nos activités: http://rij2011.wordpress.com/

Latest reader comment:

The Youth  for Culture of Peace Report was mentioned in the high-level report of the Alliance of Civilizations that was presented to the United Nations on 13 November 2006,  as its first recommendation of for its activities in relation to   youth.

The Global Youth Solidarity Fund formulated by the report is proposed in the form of a Global Youth Alliance:

"A Global Youth Alliance should be established as a mechanism through which youth can contribute to the implementation of all of the recommendations set forth in this report (not just those under the 'youth' theme)."

"Supported by a Global Youth Solidarity Fund, this initiative could begin with the convening and mobilization of various youth networks and associations to promote dialogue, alliance and a culture of peace. These organizations have already begun working together to organize meetings that would provide the opportunity for young people of diverse backgrounds to set an agenda for action which they can then present to global leaders to win their support and assistance. In addition, a survey has been conducted a survey has been conducted identifying 468 youth organizations from 125 countries that could be engaged as implementing partners."

The high-level report of the Alliance of Civilizations is available on the Internet at http://www.unaoc.org/repository/HLG_Report.pdf.
