What is the Mayors for Peace?
In August 1945, atomic bombs instantaneously reduced the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to rubble, taking hundreds of thousands of precious lives. Today, more than sixty years after the war, thousands of citizens still suffer the devastating aftereffects of radiation and unfathomable emotional pain. To prevent any repetition of the A-bomb tragedy, the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have continually sought to tell the world about the inhumane cruelty of nuclear weapons and have consistently urged that nuclear weapons be abolished.

World Forum on Solidarity and Peace in the Mediterranean will be held in Tarragona (close to Barcelona) from 18 to 19 of October 2017. The forum is an initiative from Tarragona City Council in collaboration with the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMED) and the Catalan chapter of Mayors for Peace. Mayors from all over the world can take this opportunity to meet with civil society benchmarks, international organizations and peace leaders and discuss the need to turn into a space for solidarity, cooperation and equality.

More information on final program and the registration process will be announced soon. To read the draft program please click here.
