Perceptions while visiting UNESCO headquarter in Paris

One of the members of the Invisible College was visiting the UNESCO Headquarter in Paris.

 

She is talking about her perceptions in the virtual meeting on 14th August 2016, refering to the monument in front of the building (photo Anne-Catrin Vogt).

The monument has inscriptions in different languages related to peace. 

 

English:

The Governments of the States Parties to this Constitution on behalf of their peoples declare: That since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed. 

 

French:

Les guerres prenant naissance dans l´esprit des hommes, c´est dans l´esprit des hommes que doivent être élevées les defenses de paix.

 

Spanish

Puesto que las guerras nacen en la mente de los hombres, es en la mente de los hombres donde deben eregirse las baluartes de la paz.

 

Portuguese:

Nascendo as guerras no espírito dos homens, é no espírito dos homens que deve erguer se a defesa da paz.

Book "HOMO SAPIENS PACIFICUS" - a ressource for peace research and personal development

In our virtual meeting on 7th December Anne-Catrin Vogt gave a presentation of the book HOMO SAPIENS PACIFICUS (HSP), written by Dr. Waldo Vieira,  containing:

  1. a short summary of the motherthosene of the treatise HSP.
  2. a presentation of the structure of the treatise HSP
  3. some word explanations
  4. a debate on the importance and contextualization of this treatise HSP

Here you could find the recording of the presentation and our debate as well as the pdf file



Some people of this group of volunteers had the idea to translate this book to English therefore they consider it as an important contribution to peace research and a better understanding of the multidimensional aspects and facets of peace.
