Beyond the distribution of relief materials, the Christian Forum Dimapur also emphasized the significance of interaction with inter-religious groups and intellectuals of the Meithei communities. This aspect of the mission aimed to foster dialogue, understanding, and communal harmony, promoting the idea of peaceful coexistence among diverse religious and cultural groups.
With the objectives to impart peace education and emphasize the importance of peace in the minds of the young people, Peace Channel organized a one-day Peace retreat for the students and teachers of various schools from Jalukie. 96 students and 7 teachers participated in the program.
Fr. C.P. Anto, the founder-director of Peace Channel, while addressing the induction of the new peace club members said that “peace education in the educational institutions can end all forms of violence in the families, schools, and communities.” He also stressed on the importance of peace education in the multi-cultural, religious and linguistic communities of Nagaland.
Programs are intended to motivate students to understand the concept of peace, to think of peace, love peace and make peace so as to take up initiatives in one’s own home and locality, to transform a culture of violence into a culture of peace.
