The project “Cities acting for Peace and Democracy in Europe” therefore intended to bring local authorities, NGOs and young people together to evaluate and debate their role in the construction of a peaceful and democratic Europe.

In this handbook, summaries of the main activities together with some best practice examples of how to foster peace and democracy at the local level are gathered, some of them written by the participants of the various workshops and conferences. We hope that they will inspire other local governments or NGOs in Europe or beyond to follow their good examples and shape a peaceful and sustainable world.
