MOU between HWPL Department of Peace Education and UNESCO National Committee of Ivory Coast
First country is Ivory Coast, or called Côte d'Ivoire
“Island of Peace,”
the “economic miracle,” and “the eldest brother of a French-speaking country.”
Indeed, for 20 years after independence, Côte d'Ivoire has grown to become a leading country out of its colony by exporting tropical crops such as cacao and coffee.
What about Mali?
the Republic of Mali is a landlocked country in West Africa. Mali is the eighth-largest country in Africa, with the country's economy centers on agriculture and mining.
Some of Mali's prominent natural resources include gold, being the third largest producer of gold in the African continent, and salt. Wow~~!!
Here we are,
looking into how they're making efforts to relialize and make this dream a true in Ivory Coast and Mali.
The ‘HWPL Peace Camp’ was held at seven elementary schools in Ivory Coast and Mali from December 9th to the 23rd of last year.
The message of
‘Peace and Safety,
Respect and Cooperation’
from Peace Camp was significant since both neighboring countries in the Sahel region of West Africa suffered conflicts between French military and Islamic extremism in the same month.
The Peace Camp,
part of HWPL peace education, aims to help the students, who will be the driving force for the future,
to grow into peace-making citizens who know the value of peace and to become leaders who solve peace and security issues not just in their own countries, but around the entire world.

Peace Camp Activities, Progress High school in Mali
The children of Mali and Ivory Coast, who are some of Africa’s future leaders, had quality time to learn about peace with their educators.
Like the stories shared by educators and students who participated in the camp, the world needs peace.
We all hope that HWPL’s peace-education, which instills the value of peace, will be implemented all over the world and the day will come where everyone calls for peace.
