Cultures of Peace Conference to be Held at BRC

The Coalition for A Strong United Nations is planning a June 2000 conference in collaboration with the Boston Research Center for the 21st Century to commemorate the United Nations International Year for the Culture of Peace (2000) and the Decade for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World (2001-2010).

Titled, Peace is in Our Hands, this conference signals a call to action for all people to stop the violence which surrounds us and to start building a culture of nonviolence and peace. Workshops at the conference will offer opportunities for continuing action, dialogue, skill building and education well beyond the day itself. A Friday evening event will feature a celebration of the publication of renowned sociologist Elise Bouldings new book, Cultures of Peace: The Hidden Side of History. A book-signing will follow the reception and program.

For information, call the Coalition at (617) 739-4750.
