The end of this experience

Dear readers of the Blog or inscribers to the Newsletter, 
my time at the Peace Museum Vienna and Colorado passed by and soon the International Anti-Corruption Agency (IACA) will hire me for a second experience in Laxemburg. 
In those past five months I experienced a lot of knowldege on the field of communication, event managment and peace activism. I matured a level of responsability within the organisation and I started coaching the new volonteers about the activities of the Peace Museum Vienna. 
I especially took care of the communication between the Peace Museum Vienna and its partners, designed and wrote the newsletter you're currently reading, took care of the social media, organized some workshops in schools, and kept in touch with all volunteers. 
Peace Museum Vienna opened my mind to how education plays an essential role to reach peace.  We have to start from children -primary school children, to be exact - to reach peace and tolerance one day. The power of education is able to stop the vitius circles of blood and violence in the hardest context, and I beleive, one of the main achievements of the Peace Museum Vienna is to teach children the concept of "Peace".
For me Peace is the ability to tolerate and appreciate diversity, to find enriching the confrontation and dialogue with people that think differently and share a different belief. We all are fighting for such a just and even world, we just have to show children some part of this utopy exists already.


Yours,
Anita Micheli
