| Welcome to the website of the Bradford: City for Peace initiative! | ||
| From a peace library, a peace studies department and a peace museum, to campaign groups, local projects and community development work, we recognise the overwhelming number of peaceful initiatives taking place throughout the Bradford District. We work to encourage that and to develop new projects, such as a peace garden, a peace trail and a peace forum. | ||
| Bradford was declared a 'City of Peace' by resolution of the Council on 13 Oct 1997. We continue to work to make this real, widely appreciated and acted out. | ||
| Mission Statement: "to coordinate, support and develop Bradford as a city for peace which celebrates and promotes peaceful relationships." | ||
| Click on the links to find out more about the initiative and the projects, and about how you can get involved in making Bradford a City for Peace! | ||
| Bradford: City for Peace is a network of Bradford people who work for peace at the grassroots level. This can mean many different things - from campaigning for disarmament, to combating racism, to challenging environmental abuse | ||
| Basically, the group understanding of peaceful relationships is that they promote peace through justice, equality and respect. | ||
| History and Organisation | ||
| Bradford: City for Peace held a day conference in February 2003, at which a steering group was set up. The group is now constituted as a voluntary organisation with a wide network of contacts. Members work with others on peace and justice projects that are self-financing. | ||
| If you want to take part in events, to tell us about the peace work you already do (paid or voluntary), or to suggest other ways that the Bradford: City for Peace network can promote and celebrate peace in Bradford then contact us - please click here | ||

The initial production of this Bradford: City for Peace website and the printed version of the Bradford Peace Trail booklet were funded by City of Bradford Metropolitan Council with grants from the Community Funding Unit (Innovation Grant), Culture, Tourism and Sport, and City Centre Management. Bradford: City for Peace is appreciative of the support that has been given to the project. | |
