On Wednesday 30 January, coinciding with the celebration of the School Day of Nonviolence and Peace (DENIP), ICIP published new Peace Capsules on the website www.capsulesdepau.com
These are reflections on what peace is from three women of very diverse backgrounds: activist Aisha Altubuly, coordinator of the Together We Build It organization in Libya; hip-hop singer Diana Avella, from Colombia; and Kate Good, researcher and professor of literature in the United States.
With these new reflections, the Peace Capsules project now has over one hundred accounts of people that talk to us about what peace is from different backgrounds and perspectives, including academics, activists, victims and artists. The videos, which are one-minute long, are supplemented with educational materials designed to work with the concept of peace in schools. Throughout 2019 the project will continue to grow with the publication of new capsules.
On another note, coinciding with the celebration of DENIP, ICIP had a special thought for Alfons Banda, an outstanding example of pacifist thought in Catalonia and a driving force behind ICIP, who passed away five years ago.
