Weifang, China Announce Institute of Peace Studies
ANNOUNCING! The third Institute of Peace Studies in China, an innovation by Chinese peacemakers who are benefitting from the platform of International Cities of Peace. “Dear Mr. J. Frederick Arment, Three years ago, Weifang joined the International Cities of Peace association and became the 308th International City of Peace in the world. This demonstrates the determination of nearly 10 million people in Weifang to remember the trauma of war and create a peaceful future, which is of great significance to Weifang, Shandong, and even China. I would like to express my gratitude and respect to you and your association for supporting Weifang.” The video with subtitles in English was sent to me this morning. The entire City of Weifang, a megacity that is moving from Cultural Trauma to Cultural Healing, celebrated the dream and reality of peacebuilding among people and nations.
