Location: Palais des Nations

“While not all of you can share the experience of growing up in war like these children, we can relate to their fears, dreams and hopes. In the end, we are all survivors of our own stories and we all should have a platform to share our stories in our own words.”

Founder and director of the War Childhood Museum, Jasminko Halilovic, talks about the important role museums can play in peacebuilding. He explains that the experience of childhood affected by war is universal and reminds us that peace is everyone’s responsibility.

 Borders that promote peace

Nino Rizzo

Event: Geneva Peace Talks 2018

“What allows us to interact and be authentically close to others is the fact of being well within our own borders – family-related, sexual, religious, cultural, geographic, racial, etc. The more anchored and solid these internal barriers are, the less humanity needs to build external borders.”

Psychotherapist, Nino Rizzo, shares his perspective on a process that is often absent in discussions about peace: the development of internal borders. Nino explains that developing clear and solid internal borders prevents us from creating and constructing external – and often violent – borders.
