The Culture of Peace We are currently living many social, economic and environmental impacts, largely motivated by the epochal paradigm shift, with the attempt to combine in a dialectical way the old values of modernity, such as rationality, order and progress, with the new values, proper to postmodernity, such as imagination, emotion and sensibility.

Hall, UNHCR, Unicamp and the Anhanguera Universities.

Believing that a new step in the #Campinas Pela Paz movement must involve dialogue with engagement aiming to consolidate the planning of actions for the full development of our country, with a focus on a culture of peace, together with civil society, business and other governmental organizations we held the rst edition of the Campinas Pela Paz Forum in February 2018.

In this journey, where ethical, moral, social and war conicts are increasingly intense, the search for the reduction of these conicts and the establishment of a culture of peace, where the principles of respect, solidarity and fraternity are present in the relations requires a collective movement and individual reection so that each one is effectively the change that wants to see in the world.

This new global society calls us to engage ourselves into altruistic attitudes due to the great need we have to raise the awareness that each step of a more just, equitable and egalitarian society passes through the construction of the defenses of peace in the minds of each one of us .

We have full conviction that the best path to do this is peace! In this sense, through the # Campinas for Peace movement, organized by the City Hall of Campinas in 2017, we started a public policy that prompted the construction of peace in our city, whose rst step was the creation of the Municipal Council of Culture of Peace, and then the municipal launch of the University Pact for the Promotion of Diversity, Culture of Peace and Human Rights, signed between the City

It is fundamental to have a critical reection on the need to build bridges of dialogue in the face of a world that is concerned with the economic development, and where social and family relations generate a fragmented vision of reality.

It is essential to carefully think about the directions that the country and the world must take. To conceive a dialogical movement, that points us directions to the present and to the future, without disregarding the past, it was settled the rst #Campinas Pela Paz Forum.
