PREFACE
Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends, Welcome to Peace Event Sarajevo 2014. In an age of conflicts and confrontations, 100 years after the start of World War I we want to appeal for a culture of peace and to stand up for peace, disarmament, civil conflict resolution and non-violence as well as social and ecological justice. You are holding the Event Program in your hands. It is designed to give you an overview of all the activities with the relevant schedules, times and locations. On the central plan and in relevant lists you will find the practical information you need: • The opening and closing events - let us once again invite you all to attend! • The five Round Tables on the core issues - A Culture of Peace and Nonviolence - Gender, Women and Peace - Militarism and Alternatives - Peace and Social Justice - Reconciliation and Dealing with the Past • Almost 200 workshops (many thanks to everyone who is contributing to this impressive collection of interesting topics!) • A wide range of cultural activities (and here, too, our heartfelt gratitude!) • The Youth Camp with its own events There is also additional information which you will hopefully find useful to make your stay in this beautiful old city even more enjoyable. We have tried our best to compile everything we could think of which you might benefit from. However, there is undoubtedly still something missing, and the error gremlins will have left their mark, so please excuse this! And for any problems or difficulties that arise - let us find solutions together in a spirit of respect, solidarity and tolerance. This large Peace Event has been organized from the grassroots with many hours of voluntary and selfless work – many, many thanks to everyone who has helped. We would be grateful for any tips about what is missing and what should be added. We will make every effort to ensure ongoing communication with you via social media, in the Peace Cafe, and with old-fashioned Info Points and notices. You will find this information via the app and the Twitter account (see further information below). Further information can also be found on the multilingual website: www.peaceeventsarajevo2014.eu Please use this Event Program as a guide to help you find your way around Sarajevo and the wide range of events. And please let us not forget that this city and this country have survived a merciless war, whose physical and psychological effects can still be felt today, and also a natural disaster, which destroyed large areas of the region. We, too, will try to make a small solidary contribution to help the victims. Our thanks go out to everyone who has actively helped so far. However, it is up to us all to determine the final results of the great Peace Event Sarajevo 2014. So please follow this invitation to have fun and interesting discussions, gain plenty of new insights, and hopefully make new friends.

PEACE ASSEMBLY – BKC, JUNE 9, 10-12 AM
Monday June 9, on the final day of the Peace Event, it will be time for the future with the Assembly of Convergence for Peace. The organizations, networks, movements, individuals, who have been thinking and working together during the Forum’s round tables and workshops and the Youth Camp can gather to jointly evaluate which common action or work they may propose or strengthen in order to build this other world of peace and justice we want. In case there is a demand, this Assembly of Peace can be organized with several “meetings of convergence for action” before joining together. In such “meetings of convergence“, participants can join together to see how to carry on discussion on specific topics and themes as a result or an outcome of the activities during the Peace event, and/or to build international actions and campaigns. All kinds of action can be considered as working base for these convergences - something that should facilitate the articulation between different networks and movements. The Peace Event does not deliberate as a body. There will be no final declaration or statement on behalf of all the participants. No-one, therefore, is authorized, to express positions claiming to be those of all its participants. Nonetheless, participants, organizations or groups of organizations that participate in the Peace event can deliberate on declarations or actions they may decide on, whether singly or in coordination with other participants. The Peace Event will circulate such decisions without directing, hierarchizing, censuring or restricting them, but as deliberations of the organizations or groups of organizations that made the decisions. The participants who want to propose ideas, initiatives, actions, campaigns to be discussed at the Assembly of Convergence for Peace, or to propose a thematic Meeting of Convergence can do it during the first 3 days of the Peace Event.

She started a world movement, introducing an image for the peaceful majority. The elephant was chosen as a symbol because it marries power with peace.

Therefore the symbol of the elephant marrying peace with power changes the perception of this world. The movement Elephants for Peace offers you a platform to make powerful peace visible.
