Violence begets violence, so peace-building requires nonviolent engagement. Examples of how this can be done have been put together in an interactive exhibition by the Protestant Church in Hesse and Nassau, EKHN (represented in the World Council of Churches through the Evangelical Church in Germany, EKD).
Highlights from the exhibition (originally produced in German) are now available in English and will be on display at the World Council of Churches’ Ecumenical Centre in Geneva, from Wednesday, 3 April 2019 through Friday, 3 May 2019, in the lobby area.
Opening hours:
Monday – Friday, 8 am – 5 pm
Access:
Bus stop: Crêts-des-Morillons (lines 5, 5+, 28, F) or Le Pommier (line 22)
Visiting address: 1 Route des Morillons, 1218 Grand Saconnex
Please note that visitors parking is limited and requires registration at the reception desk.
