GIVE PEACE A CHANCE

On 21 September, the United Nations invites all to observe the International Day of Peace. This year marks the 70th anniversary since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1948. The document states the indelible rights of man but there is no explicit reference to peace so the international community is called upon this year to reflect on peace and human rights by reflecting on the question “What does the right to peace mean for you?”

“Give peace a chance,” as John Lennon sung. Open up for dialogue and compromise in order to take the first steps toward establishing a right that is often denied to many. In the case of Inter Campus, the aim is to create a project for integration in areas most at risk of conflict, such as Israel and Palestine.

Active in intermittent bursts because of conflicts and international politics, the project was born many years ago and took on new life in 2013 thanks to collaboration with Ghetton. In the past five years that have been full of political decisions that could have put it as risk, the project has been strengthened thanks to the effort and faith shown by its representatives local or otherwise who fought daily to allow children to play together. With children wearing the kippah and coaches in veils, the situation is often complicated and delicate, requiring constant care. It’s about teamwork and never losing sight of the goal, showing strength together to restore the right to play and the right to live in peace.
