To mark the International Day of Peace, WFWP “Hauts de France” (North part of
France), in partnership with seven other local associations, organised an event at the
“Maison des Associations” in Roubaix to commemorate the Bridge of Peace launched
in 2023 in Lille.
The aim was to showcase the projects that the twinned pairs had been able to carry
out during the year, with the theme of this year's event being ‘the fruits of the bridge
of peace’.
After a brief introduction to the significance of the Bridge of Peace by Brigitte Wada,
4 pairs were able to share their stories about the activities they had carried out
together. Some of the pairs worked together in some local humanitarian projects, and
another said they gave each other moral support by meeting regularly.
The various associations had tables to display their activities and possibly sell some
of their items.
We were lucky enough to have young singers who enlivened the meeting and brought
everyone together in a warm atmosphere and at the end everyone stand together to
sing the song “heal the world” from Michael Jackson.
