ABSTRACT

Seen the other way round, we can state that the Campaign has accomplished its initial mission: to make a start, to show the way, to lay the ground. By its existence, it has revealed the need for a global perspective and by its activities, it has demonstrated that step by step a difference can be made. It is now up to the international peace education community to develop new, maybe more sophisticated forms of global networking, including a denser net of academic peace education projects, comparative studies, and common research with peace researchers from other disciplines. In doing so, the Campaign always reminds us that, while working for very concrete and limited endeavors, we must not lose sight of the ‘big whole’ that is the abolition of the war system including a culture of war and violence.
