PIERRE WEIL

BIOGRAPHIC SUMMARY

Contribution to the culture of Peace

This new model of education is also considered as a contribution to transdisciplinarity, recommended by different UNESCO declarations.

It is also a practical application of the preamble to the UNESCO formation act, to Peace in the Spirit of Men.

Since the beginning of UNIPEACE, Pierre Weil personally leads a series of symposia about the following subjects: the Contribution of Spiritual Traditions to Peace and to the Environment, the Silent Diplomacy of Peace, Military Men for Peace, the Role of the Media regarding Peace and Non-Violence, the Political Transpartisanship, among other subjects. During each National or International Holistic Congress he leads ecumenic celebrations. The last International Holistic Congress that took place in Findhorn, Scotland, had as its subject An Appeal to Peace.

One can also state that the creation of UNIPEACE by Pierre Weil and its present existence in 6 Brazilian university campuses, together with its action in Europe and in Israel, is an important and effective contribution to the Culture of Peace in the World.

For these reasons UNIPEACE has joined its efforts to those of UNESCO and, as possible as it may be, integrates itself to that organisation. Thus, the school House of the Sun, of UNIPEACE, is a member of the UNESCO Associated Schools and the University is a member of the UNESCO Planet Society Network. Besides this, Pierre Weil has an active participation in divulging the International Year of the Peace Culture in Brazil, as he signs an official agreement with Mr. Wertheim, UNESCO Director for Brazil; he also promotes a permanent divulgation of UNESCO's principles in the META Magazine, published by UNIPEACE and in his PEACE Network, via Internet.

Let us describe, to end this biography, a special contribution of Pierre Weil to the establishment of a Peace Culture in Europe.
