Letter to Editor - ECPD keen to contribute to realisation of peace centre in Seychelles |21 January 2016

It has been with profound interest that we have read on your website the opinion page by Sir James R. Mancham who has been a highly respected member of our Academic council for over 20 years entitled ‘Seychelles can be a centre for promoting world peace and national reconciliation’.

We would like to inform you that this innovative idea is of great interest to the European Center for Peace and Development (ECPD) and that considering Seychelles’ geographic situation and past history we would be interested to contribute towards the realisation of such project in your country against the background of our many years of experience in the promotion of peace studies and the resolution of conflicts. We take the view that out of a little seed could grow a big oak tree.

European Centre for Peace and Development of the University for Peace established by the United Nations is an international, intergovernmental education research organisation founded in 1983 with its headquarters in Belgrade, based on the agreement concluded between the University for Peace established by the United Nations and the government of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia, as a unique organisation for postgraduate education and other forms of learning and research aimed at promotion of peace, development and international cooperation.
