The International Working Group on Peace Building with Young Children met in Manizales, Colombia in May of 2007. Sixteen team members from Albania, Australia, Mali, Nepal, Northern Ireland, and the U.S. were hosted by CINDE, Fundacion Centro International de Educacion y Desarrollo Humano (The International Center of Education and Human Development Foundation).
In the meetings, the group finalized the timeline, content, and structure of the Working Group’s first publication, “From Conflict to Peace Building”, a presentation of the stories and strategies of the group. An additional outcome for this meeting was that by convening in Manizales, the group was able to experience what life is like in an area of the world that not long ago was steeped in turmoil and violence, but has worked hard to restore peace and beauty to their country.
