2022 Outstanding Public Peace Efforts

Year granted award: 2022

Award Category: Outstanding Public Peace Efforts

The Peace Barcelona 2025 association gives a lot of support for peacebuilding and is directly involved in supporting the peace process, especially for The Walk-Path to Peace.

The Walk-Path to Peace is an international project, inspired in the city of Barcelona which aims to promote peace and strengthen cultural policies through three different implementation guidelines, using public space with the dual intention of recreational and cultural-educational activities, to make the Walk-Path to Peace a space of citizen participation that acts as ambassador to the outside world as a world reference for peace. The three guidelines are the Gate of Peace, the Walk-Path to Peace (a Mediterranean pathway) along with the “Peacekeepers Museum-Memorial, Centre for Peace Studies.”

The proposal has been inspired by the Walks of Fame, which are usually open-air spaces; the Walk-Path to Peace would be based on the Nobel Peace Prize. The Walk-Path to Peace should be regarded as a future option for the promotion of Union, Peace and Fraternity between cities: Peace as the antidote for indifference. The Peace/Path Walk is not only a local proposal, it is a future option for the promotion of the Union, Peace and Fraternity among the citizens. https://www.paubcn.com/
