SUMMARY:Peace Light of Bethlehem
DESCRIPTION:Every year a light comes from Bethlehem. \nBefore Christmas\, the Scout movement takes a flame from the Eternal Flame from the Nativity Grotto in Bethlehem where Jesus was born. They carry it into the world as a sign for peace. Even in these years\, when the longing and hope for a lasting peace in the Holy Land is so urgent. The light brings peace to us and is a sign of our willingness to be channels of peace\, by our words and actions. \nIn Brussels we receive the light\, brought to us by the scouts and guides\, on Wednesday 10. December\, 18.30h at the Parc Léopold (in front of the House of European History\, near Place Jean Rey). From there we accompany the light to the Chapel for Europe\, where we will share a moment of reflection and prayer for peace in the Holy Land and worldwide. The peace light will then be distributed to all who want to carry it on to their parishes\, communities\, houses and so on. \nPlease\, bring along a lantern to take the light back home. \nThe welcoming of the light is organised by Les Scouts\, the Chapel for Europe\, Pax Christi International and CIDSE.

SUMMARY:Sudan: Possible Paths to Peace?

Over the past years\, Sudan has endured one of the most severe humanitarian and political crises in the world\, its suffering too often overlooked by the global community even as displacement\, human rights violations and violence continue to escalate.  \nIn the spirit of solidarity and committed to human dignity and nonviolence\, Pax Christi International has consistently called for inclusive peace processes\, protection of civilians and renewed commitment to justice for the people of Sudan.  \nThis webinar builds on that work. Bringing together leading analysts\, advocates and peacebuilders\, we will reflect on the current situation\, explore the vital role of nonviolent action and civic engagement\, and examine the international dynamics that continue to shape the conflict’s trajectory.  \nWe are grateful for your participation and trust that this conversation will deepen our collective understanding and strengthen our shared efforts toward a just and lasting peace in Sudan. \nPax Christi International continues its work of raising awareness and sharing information on Sudan and the country’s difficult situation. In 2025\, we organised the Sudan Speaks webinar series\, issued a statement supporting the situation of women in Sudan and took part\, on 11 April\, in the World Day of Prayer for Peace in Sudan. \nClick here to register to the webinar\n\nAgenda\nModerator: Mawa Abdelbagi Osman Mohamed\, Pax Christi International Sudan Working Group \n 5′: Welcoming and Introduction\nSpeaker: Martha Inés Romero\, Pax Christi International Secretary General \n 15′: “Overview on Sudan’s current situation” \n Speaker: Gabriel Mad\, Independent Researcher in Politics and International Relations \n 15′: “Nonviolence and the Path to Peace in Sudan”\nSpeakers: Marija Marovic\, Executive Director of Gisa Group\, and Zahra Hayder\, Founder and Ececutive Director of Waei Organization \n 15′: “Illegal Arms and Resource Flows into Sudan and How to Stop Them”\n Speaker: John Prendergast\, Human Rights and Anti-Corruption activist    \n 20′: Q&A\nModerator: Giulia Bordin\, Pax Christi International Advocacy Officer \n 5′: Closing Remarks\nSpeaker: Martha Inés Romero\, Pax Christi International Secretary General \n 3′: Thank you and campaign announcement  \n\nSpeakers\n Gabriel Mad is an independent researcher in politics and international relations.
