The Music, Arts and Peace Programme focuses on research on various artistic initiatives that have been carried out and which use artistic language for peace building initiatives. Art as a means of expressing and communicating the conditions surrounding us is also a powerful means of raising awareness and makes us reflect upon our attitudes and behaviour. It also promotes participation and peace building, generates solidarity values and encourages dialogue between generations and between cultures.
