“Culture for Peace.. NOT.. Culture of Peace"
Peace has no culture, however, Culture can serve Peace.

Peace, like war, is a social invention. It has been notes the now and then precarious balance between humans' need for
bonding and autonomy. Finding the right balance in a world full of complecations and devastation is difficult, particularly that
technology shields humans from one another and even from themselves. Globalization weakened local community, economic
and social capacity, and family systems which are all racked by violence. The biosphere is losing its capacity to regenerate
itself and feed the growing population of humans.. How can peace grow and flourish, bring us better futures, under such
conditions?
It seems that in spite of the visibility of violence and war, many people are able to see the devise practices and strategies that
will render war obsolete. If we want the world to be one planetary zone of peace, full of adventure and the excitement of dealing
with diversity without violence, humans can make it so, if they accept each others differences.
This is The Culture for Peace
Culture for Peace International aims to introduce different cultures to different societies with a hope to create a kind of
knowledge, appreciation, and respect of each others cultures and civilization. In working with a wide range of partners, RASIT
