BAYEUX-CALVADOS-NORMANDY AWARD FOR WAR CORRESPONDENTS Since 1994, the town of Bayeux, in association with the Department of Calvados and the Normandy Region, has been organising this award to pay tribute to journalists who do their job in dangerous conditions to give us access to free information. Some pictures of the winners from previous years are displayed on the village. EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT The European Parliament is presenting the study “Peace and Security in 2018: Overview of EU action and outlook for the future exclusively at the Normandy for Peace Forum”. Come and see this work and learn more about the Sakharov Prize! EUROPEAN YOUTH PARLIAMENT Since its creation, the European Youth Parliament has been promoting European citizenship among young people. Supported by the Normandy Region, the EYP is organizing the Euro-Tunisian Forum on the sidelines of the World Peace Forum. VITAE PROJECT The Vitae sculpture is made of shape memory material. It opens and closes with the heat of the sun. A challenge that is at once artistic, scientific and human! Vitae’s incredible journey begins on Earth with the collection of a million handprints during meetings with the artist or on the internet. All prints registered will be engraved on the sculpture. Off to the moon! EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION FOR LOCAL DEMOCRACY (ALDA) ALDA was created in 1999 on the initiative of the Council of Europe to coordinate and support the network of local democracy agencies, with locally registered NGOs acting as promoters of good governance and local self government. ALDA and the Normandy Region are working together on the memory of the Eastern Front. FRENCH INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL AND STRATEGIC AFFAIRS (IRIS) IRIS is a French think tank working on geopolitical and strategic issues, the only one on an international scale to have been created on a completely private initiative, as part of an independent approach. FRENCH RED CROSS Even war has its limits. Guided by this principle, international humanitarian law aims to preserve a certain humanity in the middle of conflicts. The French Red Cross works with everyone to promote dissemination of this law. YOUNG PEACE BUILDERS This association is entirely focused on youth, education, the transmission of memory, global citizenship and the desire to engage all these young people towards peace, by inviting them to think and take action as they are able in favour of a world at peace. During the forum, the association is proposing a programme of activities with two primary school classes.
