Dear peace friends all over the world,

At the StopReArm Europe zoom yesterday (Nov 19) a suggestion was made to form a working group on the militarisation of schools.

This is an issue becoming more and more alarming.

For those interested to join, pls contact:
- Katerina Anastasiou – StopReArm Europe – [email protected]
- Roberta Alunni – Scuola per la pace – [email protected]

We must unite our efforts to become stronger and get our message heard!
