What a time to write about peace. To enrich internet with more information about inspiring activists and organisations fighting for peace and non-violence and against war and militarism. That’s what SCI Switzerland is doing from 12th until the 19th of June, 2020. Online.
But that is not where it ends. A centenary of peace activism of SCI has inspired SCI Poland to organize another online camp just one day later.
