On August 7 and 8, our association was present at the Days for Peace organized by the Cordes-sur-Ciel town council, a member of AFCDRP, the French branch of Mayors for Peace.
First of all, we took part in the Peace Ceremony held in the courtyard of the Mairie on the 7th. We listened to speeches by the mayor of Cordes, Catherine Manuel, Cordes-sur-Ciel’s peace coordinator, Michel Soriano, mayor of Lasseran and AFCDRP vice-president, and Loréna Schlicht, AFCDRP coordinator and development officer. Jean-Jacques Siry, co-president of the association, gave a speech on peace, and Alain Mila, founder of the association, ended the ceremony with a spontaneous speech.
To mark the occasion, Michel Soriano presented a painting to the mayor of Cordes Sur Ciel.
Then the following day, we hosted a small Sentinelles de la Paix operation in the Place de la Bride.
A few sentinels were raised by adults and children, and we were able to talk to parents about the meaning of this action.
