Graines de Paix est une association humaniste qui vous propose de contribuer à la paix en aidant chacun à mieux transmettre les valeurs humaines aux jeunes et moins jeunes. Elle est indépendante de toute obédience religieuse, sectaire ou politique, tout en étant activement ouverte au dialogue et à l’échange. Elle a été reconnue d’utilité publique et bénéficie de l’exonération fiscale. Elle est basée en Suisse et active dans plusieurs autres pays. Nos outils sont conçus pour sensibiliser les jeunes et les moins jeunes à trois idées fortes:

• les valeurs humaines, force inspiratrice pour la paix;
• les « réflexes de paix » , outils pour inviter la paix dans l’action;
• « l’inacceptabilité » de la violence pour soi-même, pour contribuer à la paix.
