Grains of Peace

Welcome to our website. Thank you for your visit. Every day, our English edition is being completed with new elements.

Grains of Peace is a humanist association that aims to contribute to peace by helping people better transmit human values to the young and the less young.

It is apolitical, non-confessional and independent of outside organizations or persons, while actively open to dialogue and exchange. It is officially recognised as a public service organization and has received tax exemption. It is based in Switzerland and is active in several other countries.

Our tools are designed to help the young and less young think about three key concepts:

• the importance of human values as effective tools for peace

• the possibility for each and all to develop "peace reflexes"

• the unacceptability of violence and how it can often be avoidable with peace reflexes.

The Grains of Peace website is regularly visited by over 100 countries around the world. It will soon be multilingual.
