" Conection, capacity builidng and experience creation and sharing is the most exiting part about being a Millennium Fellow. Being able to present a proyect to the world and share/work with bright and young minds with all kinds of experience is one of the most breathtaking opportunities. Besides, working on capacity building, not just with the international comunnity, but with my own comunnity and with my project group ond a host of elements is a one in a lifetime opportunity. I've decided to work on this project because of the fundamental need of moblization of the civil society around conflcit resolution and around the peace process. If we want a peace for everyone, peace must be from everyone. "
