Jointly organized by the Nepal-based Collective Campaign for Peace (COCAP) and US-based Global Majority, this international symposium from June 2-5, 2009 in Kathmandu, Nepal will contribute to achieving socially and politically sustainable peace and harmony in the South Asian Region. The symposium will focus on exploring and establishing a common vision that exercises substantial discussion on the current issues of peace, justice, and human rights in the South Asia. The symposium’s goal is to strengthen solidarity and cooperation among civil society by forging a South Asian Civil Society Forum. |

Dear my Glomaj family,
Greetings from Nepal! Yes, indeed my Nepali colleagues, COCAP (Collective Campaign for Peace) and Global Majority Nepal project are hosting this regional symposium next week. In spite of political instability here in Kathmandu, Nepal is initiating this regional forum. The most encouraging thing is that we received positive response from other civil society organizations from the South Asia region (8 countries – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Moldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka).
At the end of the symposium, organizers are hoping to establish a regional forum to keep dialogue going among civil societies. Little by little, slowly yet surely dialogues shall bring peace along.
