Its field office in Gabon has been especially active where the director, Enzo Fazzino, was part of the team at the end of the 90&#8217;s that coordinated the International Year for the Culture of Peace.  Also in recent years, UNESCO has worked with Angola and C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire to host several international conferences on the culture of peace, including the Biennale of Luanda which was held in its second edition in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Below are articles in CPNN about this question:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=31315\">The Gloria Fuertes School of Andorra demonstrates the \u201ctransformative power of education\u201d at the UNESCO National Meeting of Schools<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=31263\">National Coordinators of the UNESCO Associated Schools Network gather to reflect and share experiences<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=29912\">Celebrating Radio Day in Haiti<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=26298\">Mexico : Renowned researchers share their experience of the UNESCO Chairs of the Latin American and Caribbean Region<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=22772\">Ambassadors praise Angola\u2019s efforts for peace in Africa<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=21626\">UNESCO-sponsored Nanjing Peace Forum<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=19485\">UNESCO supports young people for reflections on emerging forms of expression in order to consolidate peace, democracy and development in Africa<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=16693\">Biennale of Luanda: Pan-African Forum for the Culture of Peace 18-22 September<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=16240\">PAYNCoP Gabon Identifies Youth Organizations on Culture of Peace<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=16073\">PAYNCoP Gabon learns about the culture of peace<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=15953\">Luanda Biennale: Pan-African Forum for the Culture of Peace<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=15757\">Panafrican Youth Network for the Culture of Peace  Gabon : The work begins<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=15013\">2019 Biennial of Luanda (Angola): The initial budget has about 440 thousand euros<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=14877\">Angola: Culture ministry analyzes programme of Luanda Biennal<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=14730\">UNESCO and Angola to establish Biennal of Luanda, a Pan-African Forum for the Culture of Peace<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=13647\">Angola to pass on peace experience to UNESCO members in Paris<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=12127\">UNESCO supports the government of Mali to build a culture of sustainable peace<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=12024\">UNESCO brochure: Africa, Culture of Peace, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=11759\">NICO partners UNESCO on peace, security in Nigeria<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=11221\">Gabon: Pan-African youth commit to fight against radicalization and to promote a culture of peace<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=11117\">Making Waves: Local radio transforming perceptions of gender-based violence in Africa<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=11110\">Gabon: Pan-African Youth Forum for the Culture of Peace and the Fight Against Radicalization for the Creation of an Early Warning System in Central Africa<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=10089\">Gambian Youth Engage in the Promotion of Peace, Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=8055\">Second international conference on the culture of peace in Africa<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cpnn-world.org\/spanish\/?p=6543\">Segunda confer\u00eancia internacional sobre a cultura da paz em \u00c1frica<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=6146\">Sub-regional consultation on \u201cYouth and culture of peace in Central Africa\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=397\">Launch of the Network Youth and Culture of Peace in Africa<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=544\">Lancement du r\u00e9seau jeunesse et culture de la paix en Afrique<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 Links for the following articles published prior to 2015 do not work because they were made by a version of PERL programming that is no longer supported.
