The Mouvement de la Paix – Comité Rennais is guided by a set of core values that inform everything we do. These values shape our programs, actions, and the way we interact with individuals and communities. They serve as both a moral compass and a practical guide for building a culture of peace that is inclusive, just, and sustainable.
Human Dignity: We firmly believe that every individual deserves respect, recognition, and protection. Our work aims to uphold the inherent value of each person, combating discrimination, inequality, and social injustice in every form. Promoting dignity is central to our educational programs, advocacy campaigns, and community engagement efforts.
Non-Violence: Non-violence is the foundation of our work. We reject all forms of violence—physical, psychological, social, and structural—and actively promote peaceful methods for resolving conflicts. Through workshops, discussions, and outreach, we encourage individuals and communities to practice non-violence in daily life.
Justice: Peace cannot exist without justice. We advocate for fairness, equality, and accountability in society. Whether addressing local social inequalities or supporting broader human rights initiatives, our commitment to justice drives every aspect of our work.
Solidarity: Peace is built through cooperation and mutual support. We foster solidarity among citizens, community groups, and international partners. Our programs are designed to strengthen connections, encourage collaboration, and demonstrate that collective action is more powerful than individual efforts alone.
Dialogue: Open and respectful communication is essential to understanding and resolving conflicts. We facilitate dialogue through public forums, workshops, and community events, providing spaces where people can share perspectives, listen actively, and work toward common solutions.
Education: We value knowledge and understanding as tools for transformation. Education about peace, human rights, and non-violence empowers individuals to make informed decisions and contribute positively to their communities. By fostering critical thinking, empathy, and ethical awareness, we create a foundation for lasting social change.
Responsibility: Every person has a role to play in promoting peace. We encourage active citizenship, emphasizing the responsibility of individuals to contribute to their communities, support justice, and advocate for human dignity. Responsibility also extends to collective action, recognizing that systemic change requires sustained engagement from multiple stakeholders.
Respect for Diversity: We embrace cultural, social, and ideological diversity as a strength. Understanding and valuing differences is essential to fostering inclusive communities, preventing conflict, and promoting mutual respect.
By embedding these values in all our initiatives, the Mouvement de la Paix – Comité Rennais ensures that our work is principled, consistent, and effective. These values guide our educational programs, advocacy campaigns, community engagement projects, and partnerships, helping us create a society where peace is actively practiced and deeply rooted in everyday life.
