Peace Trail The Hague new publication (9 September)

On 20 September, the Saturday of the Just Peace weekend in The Hague, the INMP presents the Peace Trail The Hague pocket guide, in both Dutch and English, as part of the European project Discover Peace in Europe. The booklet guides you past 15 historical places connected with the Hague tradition of peace and international justice.

Since late 2012, people from the INMP secretariat started working on this project, in cooperation with six European partners in Berlin, Budapest, Manchester, Paris, Torino and Vienna. Seven Peace Trails were designed and brought together on a website (discoverpeace.eu). Celebrating International Day of Peace 2014, the clever pocket guides, in two languages, will be presented.

At 13.30h the first issue will be handed to the Yi Jun Peace Museum. This peace museum, devoted to the Korean delegation during the 1907 Hague Peace Conference, will be open from 11.00h to 16.00h for the symbolic entrance fee of 1 euro.

At 14.00h a second issue will be handed to the Humanity House, another peace museum included in the Peace Trail. This museum will be accessible for 1 euro during the entire Just Peace weekend. In the museum cafe a short elucidation on the project and its future activities will be given.

Subsequently around 15.30h at the Grote Markt, during ONE Festival, an issue will be handed to Tim Akkerman, the 2014 peace ambassador, who wrote the preface of the guide. Those interested can pick up their own free copy of the guide, in Dutch or English, after this day, at one of the several museums along the Peace Trail.
