“Peacemaking is not for wimps”, someone once said. The Citizens for Peace Nonviolent Film Series which begins Wednesday, April 6th at Madonna University, clearly illustrates that.

These films will be shown to the public – one each Wednesday for 3 weeks- and will highlight unique and powerful methods of bringing about Peace in nonviolent ways.

The Peace and Security Council (PSC) of the African Union (AU) will hold an open session on "Women and Children in Armed Conflicts" on Monday, 28 March 2011 at the Headquarters of the AU in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
