Women for Non Violence in Peace and Conflict Zones is designed to inform civilian and military survivors of gender-based violence about the welfare of those affected, especially in armed conflict and unstable regions of the world. The main vision is to create a survivors’ network and working committees aided by communication platform to bridge Northern and Southern region survivors of SGBV.

The Women4Nonviolence website was created initially in response to both civilian and mililtary survivor groups who wished to catch up on the latest developments regarding UNSCR 1325 on women, peace and security (and allied resolutions) and their impact at The Hague. The site also intends to facilitate communication with its users globally to initiate and to catalyze positive action.

The Tehran Peace Museum promotes a culture of peace, by offering awareness programs about the consequences of war. The museum coordinates a peace education program that holds workshops on humanitarian law, disarmament, tolerance, and peace education. At the same time, it hosts conferences on the culture of peace, reconciliation, international humanitarian law, disarmament, and peace advocacy.

Currently housed in a building donated by the municipality of Tehran within the historic city parc, the Tehran Peace Museum is as much an interactive peace center as a museum. The Iranian secretariat of the international organisation Mayors for Peace is also housed in this building. Additionally, the museum maintains a documentation centre for the individual stories of victims of warfare and its library includes a collection of literature spanning topics from international law to the implementation of peace to oral histories of veterans and victims of war.

Cast Lead is an art initiative opposed to violence. Its weapons are theatre, the arts and common sense. They aim to connect current manifestations at excessive violence to cities that have been the target of horrific bombardements themselves and have found a way of commemorating these events in a special way.

The Plea for Peace Project and Musical is an initiative to promote nonviolence as the option towards conflict resolution and understanding, in pursuit of lasting and sustainable peace. It comprises of:

• a musical: a set of poetic writings about Mahatma Gandhi, Nobel Peace Prize laureates and peace activists set to music, performed by school children;
• an online petition, calling for the Norwegian Nobel Institute to declare Mahatma Gandhi Honorary Nobel Peace Laureate;
• several peace clubs for students and teachers to learn about historical, political and social aspects of Nobel Peace laureates and peace activists, and to promote a lifestyle of nonviolence.

The Peace Clubs achieve their goals by various activities, such as the monthly celebration of a peace laureate or activist. During each month they research that person’s life and background, and reflect on their own lives. The clubs are already operative in a number of high schools in Cape Town. Internationally, informal collaborations have started with individuals and institutions in Colombia, Israel, Palestine, Mexico and USA.

Peace Museum Vienna attempts to conduct peace education through the lives of its Peace Heroes. These heroes include historic as well as contemporary figures who spent their lives either promoting peace through their profession such as Johan Galtung or practiced peace and nonviolence as their main strategy for a peaceful life such as Mahatma Gandhi or Nelson Mandela.We plan to extend our peace education efforts to schools in Vienna.

We intend to expand our initiative “Windows for Peace” to a minimum of 20 cities and include 5000 Peace Heroes worldwide by 2020.

The Nobel Peace Center presents the Nobel Peace Prize and its ideals. It is an arena where culture and politics merge to promote involvement, debate and reflection around topics such as war, peace and conflict resolution.

The center presents the Nobel Peace Prize laureates and their work, in addition to telling the story of Alfred Nobel and the other Nobel prizes. This is done using multi media and interactive technology (for which it has achieved international recognition), exhibitions, meetings, debates, theater, concerts and conferences, as well as a broad educational program and regular guided tours.
