Report by Ms. Lorena Schlicht, Mayors for Peace France (AFCDRP)
Every year, Grigny organizes a Peace Week with different activities (music, writing, exhibitions, etc.). This year, the youth of Grigny showcased their talents at the annual Young Writer and Young Illustrator Contest. Organized by the city and local partners, with participation from Mahamoud Soilih, the Municipal Councillor for Culture of Peace, the event honored numerous winners who expressed their creativity on the theme: “For the Peace of Future Generations, We Rebuild the World.” This year saw a record participation of over 180 young individuals, significantly surpassing last year’s numbers. Each participant received a book featuring their works and engaged in enjoyable activities organized by local associations.
The Peace Week in Grigny continues with several events, including the A-Paix-Ro gathering and the Lanterns Evening, focusing on the conflict in Congo. These activities aim to promote peace, solidarity, and awareness of global issues, reflecting the community’s commitment to fostering the culture of peace in Grigny.
