Mosquito tactics

A Book About Peace Education

“If you think you are too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room.”

What is peace? Is there such a thing? And if there isn’t – how can we create it together? Hopefully, Mosquito Tactics makes you think and see your everyday life in a new way. This book brings up many weighty subjects and phenomena, such as racism, gender discrimination and poverty. On the other hand we also show how you can make the world a better place through peace education, commitment and working together with others.

Mosquito Tactics is inspired by ‘Peace education and the educational approach of CISV International’ by Rodolfo Zúñiga. A Masters Thesis in human rights and peace education. Mosquito Tactics is created and published by CISV Sweden with financial support from the Swedish National Commission for UNESCO and the Folke Bernadotte Academy.
