WORLD FORUM NORMANDIE PEACE HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO SEPTEMBER 21

USPA NEWS - Due to the health crisis, the fourth edition of the Normandy World Peace Forum, which was initially scheduled to be held on June 3 and 4, 2021, has been postponed to September 30 and October 1, 2021 at the Abbaye aux Dames in Caen.



"In the current context of crisis, it has proved impossible to organize the Normandy World Peace Forum in its initial form at the beginning of June, given the very strict sanitary rules necessary for the reception of the public. Nevertheless, it seems important to us to reconnect with a flagship event of international scope. There is never a white year to build peace. It is in the order of things for Normandy to organize this Davos for Peace at a later date. That’s why we are taking a date for this event to be held on September 30 and October 1, ”says Hervé Morin, founder and chairman of the Normandy World Peace Forum, and President of the Region Normandy.
