Peace Factory will be transformed in Fabrique de la Paix

The Utrecht foundation Peace Education Project organized at the end of March 2007 an expert meeting “Interactive learning in the Peace Factory” for a group of educationalists from Paris.

The participants visited the Dutch version of the Peace Factory in a school in Leiderdorp. There was an intensive exchange of expertise on interactive learning, that was invented by Peace Education Projects. During the seminar the participants agreed upon a transformation of the Dutch interactive exhibition into a French “Fabrique de la Paix”.

The exhibition will be completely produced in the Netherlands and will be available in Mai 2008. The official presentation will take place in autumn of that year during the national ‘Salon de l’ éducation’ in Paris.

La ligue de l’enseignement will be responsible for the project in France. La ligue is a national organization for educational innovation and has offices in all French counties. La ligue is supported by the French organization CIDEM, which coordinates a network for civics and democracy.

The Evens Foundation took the initiative for the project and will be the main sponsor as well. The Evens Foundation was founded by the late Antwerp diamond salesman and philantropist Georges Evens and has offices in Antwerp, Paris and Warschau.
