Web Presence
At Coach for Peace we believe that effective outreach nowadays is indissociable from life on the web.
Internet is not only a medium for disseminating information, but increasingly it also a platform for involving users and allowing to have their say, make comments, create content and thus generate knowledge together as a community of thought and intention.
We aim at increased web presence with our website www.coachforpeace.org and also in the social networks.
