Cymru fel cenedl heddwch – Wales as a Nation of Peace
In this week of the International Day of Peace, there’s no better time to think about what it might mean for Wales and the world if it became a Nation of Peace
To imagine a Wales and a world where peace reigns is not just to imagine the absence of war. It’s to imagine a place where we all live free from fear, where our rights are respected, and where everybody is equal. It’s to imagine conducting all our relationships – with ourselves, neighbour to neighbour, stranger to stranger, community to community, country to country – with justice and fairness. Imagine if this kind of positive peace was part of our national identity, a value that drove all of what we do.
Ahead of the United Nations Summit of the Future, a global cooperation event held in New York last weekend, Academi Heddwch Cymru (Wales’s Peace Institute) worked on a paper exploring how Wales can become a ‘Nation of Peace’ – Cymru fel Cenedl Heddwch. Imagine that.
