Peace Stories and Research Articles

[Announcement from SCRA-L]

Hello!

We are pleased to inform you that Godfrey Okoye University will host its 4^th Annual Youth Peace Conference. The philosophy of this conference, which is deeply immersed in its vision and mission, is based on the cardinal foundations of promotion of Unity (in character, personality and knowledge), promotion of Dialogue (religious, cultural and epistemic dialogue) and the promotion of love (human being and God, human beings and their neighbor and within the self).

Participants from different tertiary institutions within Nigeria and around the world gather together every year at Godfrey Okoye University to celebrate peace.

The theme of this year’s Peace Conference Education for Social Responsibility and Peace has been pragmatically chosen to suit the rising need for unity. This event is scheduled to hold on Monday, 6 October 2014 with series of activities targeted at engendering peace, and the spirit of harmony among young adults. This conference seeks to create an enabling environment that will stimulate healthy interaction on our core values as a necessary platform to facilitate the message of peace.

Please consider participating in this conference by submitting stories (true stories) or research articles on peace for inclusion in our 2014 Stories of Peace that would be distributed to participants during the conference. If you are interested in submitting a story or research article, please indicate by emailing your topic to me at caelisgloria@sbcglobal.net. See below for details of the call for articles. I apologize for the short notice to SCRA members.
