The Normandy Regional Council intend to promote peace through its cooperation projects and aims to become “the key region for discussing the peace situation around the world in the same way that Davos is the site of debates on economic issues. It has therefore been suggested that a World Peace Forum should be held every year in Caen in parallel with the D-Day Landing commemorations.
The first such event could take place in June 2018, but would first be preceded in March 2017 by an initial conference to make preparations for the Forum.” (Extract of “Normandy’s European and international policy Strategic policy document” – downloadable on the Normandy Region website: www.normandie.fr).
The first conference “Normandy for Peace” will take place in Caen, at l’Abbaye aux Dames on 23rd and 24th March 2017.
