Quotations
“If we want to see a nonviolent Earth, we have to bring together the peace knowledge which is created and collected in many places on the globe for the construction of tangible peace models. The necessary globalization of peace can happen if young people worldwide can learn to build community, to resolve conflicts, and to offer nonviolent resistance successfully.” (The Global Campus// Creating Peace Knowledge for the Future; photo sabine-lichtenfels.com)
