Non-violence within,
Peace for all
The International Sufi School is organising an exhibition/conference on the theme “Nonviolence within; Peace for All” at the Barceló Carlton Hotel in Edinburgh from 21 to 23 May 2010 with the collaboration of individuals and organisations working for peace, social cohesion and inter-faith dialogue. The exhibition is an opportunity to discover how nonviolence is a journey that can be taken by every peace seeking individual in order to establish peace for all in society.

Peace for Africa, Peace for Humanity
Stemming from its ancestral culture, Africa is the land of nonviolence. It is also the cradle of civilization and the mother of humanity. Its fundamental mission is to use its nonviolent dimension to bring peace for the rest of humanity.
Deeply marked by slavery and various colonisations, ransacked of its treasures and dispossessed of its identity, Africa has not yet been able to speak up for itself in the alliance of nations.
All the more so, it has an important role to play in the establishment of worldwide Peace, of a new economic order and a new diplomacy. However, Africa will achieve these only when it starts working towards this goal, being the change it wants to see – a change which is the only means to free Africa from its historical inheritance and to liberate other nations of the pervert effects of prejudices.
As Einstein puts it “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” This journey across Africa is meant to be one of the opportunities leading to this rise in consciousness in each one of us.
