For the 2020 edition of Tales for Peace we invited you to play with history, with the desire to discover that small acts of love can contribute towards a better world. Unfortunately, the global pandemic forced us to rewrite our history, forcing us to slow down, to adopt a slower pace of life and change the way we do things, recognizing we could no longer do things the way we were used to. This situation also affected Tales for Peace. This is why we are only now communicating the authors chosen for the 2020 anthology.

The call for Tales for Peace 2020, made back in January 2020, had great participation, this time, we received 151 stories, of which 30 were chosen to be part of the 2020 Anthology; each shows that compassionate acts of love can show us a glimpse of a better world.

Due to the pandemic we will not be able to have the award ceremony and the presentation of the 2020 Anthology in physical form, however, we invite you to see the new Anthology of Tales for Peace 2020, by watching the video which will be shared on October 28th through the Educate Magis Global Citizenship Newsletter. The participants and winning authors will also be sharing their enthusiasm for having participated in this contest. Don’t miss out!
