The achievement of peace is the world’s biggest challenge. National, sectarian, ethnic and racial confrontations are global issues which affect us all. I believe that writers can and should help to reduce tensions and contribute to mutual understanding.
In many respects the aims of my panel highlight all other activities. They include:
- Investigating and understanding the roots of conflict
- Exploring the nature of peace literature and how it can be promoted
- Building cross-cultural communications
The key aim of my panel (United Religion initiative – self assistance training herald) is to champion freedom of expression, usually the first casualty of war, and to foster writing that contributes to a culture of peace and genuine understanding.
My panel United Religion initiative – self assistance training herald) holds its annual conference in around the world which is regularly attended by my group members.
