PeaceLink-computer network ITALY Dear Sir/Madam ANUVRAT GLOBAL ORGANIZATION (ANUVIBHA) - a transnational center for peace and nonviolent action associated with UN DPI is pleased to invite you and your associates to attend the Fifth International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action (ICPNA). The theme chosen for deliberations on this occasion is Seeking the True Meaning of a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World. The whole world is shocked and concerned about the increasing trend of violence among children. A culture of violence and hatred seems to have percolated through the corridors of the institutions of learning particularly schools. Even teenagers do not hesitate to use guns to settle their scores. We hear horrendous tales of shootings in schools and colleges and gruesome murder of parents. It was this nightmare scenario that caused great concern among the members of the UN who adopted a unanimous resolution declaring the period 2001-2010 as the Decade of a Culture Peace and Nonviolence for the Children of the World. UNESCO has been entrusted with the responsibility to prepare a framework for a culture of peace for children and launch a worldwide campaign. I am pleased to say that Anuvibha is a part of this campaign and it has been in the forefront of a global campaign to promote peace though ahimsa (nonviolence). Vishva Shanti Nilayam (Anuvibha's global Peace Palace) which is the venue of the V ICPNA is being used as a veritable laboratory for bringing about attitudinal changes among children through a series of scientifically designed camps. More than 6000 children have already benefited from this constructive initiative. The Peace Palace is situated on top of a hill overlooking a lake called Rajsamand. It is charged with powerful spiritual vibrations which a visitor feels the moment he enters the area. Besides seven plenary sessions on varying aspects of the culture of peace and nonviolence, there will be workshops, lectures and roundtable discussions everyday. All those who share our concern for the children of the world are cordially invited.
