We are very privileged to having been able to hold this event at the prestigious Bibliotheca Alexandrina, and in cooperation with the Institute for Peace Studies. We believe it has been a vital opportunity to develop dialogues with our friends in the region.

Once again I would like to thank all our colleagues at the IPS for their efficient and friendly collaboration, notably Amb. Aly Maher, Prof. Azza M. H El-Kholy and Ms. Shahinaz Elhennawi, as well as our principal funders, the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation, and Rissho Kosei-Kai (Japanese Buddhist Organization).

The first set of papers of the seminar organised by IPB, together with the Institute of Peace Studies at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, is now available.

 

Please find below :

  • A selection of the speeches and presentations made at the seminar (English only). Click here for Chart [list of available papers].
  • List of participants FORTHCOMING together with the definitive seminar programme.
  • A booklet published in English, German and Arabic editions summarising the proceedings is FORTHCOMING.
  • A highly-recommended gallery of photographs, taken both at the seminar and also around the historic city of Alexandria, is available at http://picasaweb.google.com/aurel.romania. For this our special thanks go to our photographer Aurel Duta (Romania).

We would be grateful if you could draw the attention of your colleagues to these materials – both those who were able to participate in the event and those who could not. The seminar papers cover a wide range of topics and constitute a fascinating collection of material, which we hope will be of practical use in developing our worldwide work for peace and sustainable development.
