Topic: Development
I posted about the 1000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize project several months back, and regrettably, haven't really been keeping up with it since then. But I just received a notice that there's an exhibit about it at the UN from 27 February, lasting for two weeks. It's open to the public, and it's free, and I know I have readers in the New York City area who might be interested. So if any of you are able to go, I'd love to hear what your impressions of the exhibit and project are.

" A culture of peace will be achieved when citizens of the world understand global problems; have the skills to resolve conflict constructively; know and live by international standards of human rights, gender and racial equality; appreciate cultural diversity; and respect the integrity of the Earth. Such learning can not be achieved without intentional, sustained and systematic education for peace." Global Campaign for Peace Education
