Nanjing, China became an International City of Peace in 2017. Since then, two more Cities of Peace in China have been established with a focus on Peace Studies. The new Journal — the first of its kind in China — will be edited by Nanjing’s UNESCO Chair of Peace Studies, Professor Liu Cheng, a Board Member of ICP and a Professor of History at Nanjing University. Congratulations, Professor!
- FOCUS ON IMPACT: Sangano, International City of Peace
Each of our member Cities of Peace is doing great volunteer work but this issue of Global Newscast will feature on one with good news. Norbert Byambo is the Liaison for Sangano in the Isingiro District of Uganda, specifically in the Nakivale Refugee Camp, which was established six decades ago. Because of Norbert’s leadership within International Cities of Peace and in his community, his Team was “given a plot of land,” he said, “by a local leader by seeing what we are doing. He was very impressed seeing young leaders create peace and teaching, training children, women and youths. The plot is 10 to 20 meters. We want to build classrooms where we shall be training people different skills and training such as dispute and conflict resolution skills, peace building, and reconciliation.” Congratulations, Norbert and your entire Peace Team. What a vision! Other Cities of Peace take notice. If you volunteer, you will reap the benefits of altruism and commitment.
