PROGRESS: Has your organization seen progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain of action and in your constituency during the first half of the Decade?

Our organization has experienced a more profound interest in working for and with children in the domain of sustainable development. We see this first and foremost in more encounters between children from different countries through various conferences and trios,  and in UNEPs emphasis on targeting younger children.

OBSTACLES: What are the most important obstacles that have prevented progress?

Recurrent wars and social strife in several countries. The rise of fundementalism in the Middle East, and also the violent response of the West.

ACTIONS: What actions have been undertaken by your organization to promote a culture of peace and nonviolence during the first half of the Decade?

Our organization has initiated cooperation with an organization working with children in Sri Lanka. Here we jointly educate what we call Environmental Detectives. One of their main tasks is to take care of forests and water sheds, thus promoting UN Millenium Goal nr. 7, concerning clean drinking water.

We have also promoted the celebration of June the 5th, as World Environmental Day, a different approach to peace, underlining our common resource base as a way towards better understanding.
