CIOFF^®

CIOFF Russia is working hard to prepare the great event with 80 dance groups from all over the world/ here is the link for the promo:

The award council of the Executive Committee of the National Commission for Peace, Comnapaz México, Organismo Ciudadano, undertook the task of evaluating outstanding personalities to recognize and reward those leaders, activists, businessmen, communication scientists, teachers, politicians, academics and among others, that promote human rights, conflict mediation and the culture of peace.


THE NATIONAL PRIZE FOR PEACE MEXICO 2020, is awarded to people of integrity, outstanding, courageous, consistent action, who have shown their willingness to defend peace, conflict mediation, justice and human rights, as well as to promote actions for a citizen awakening in favor of progress, awakening, order and freedom.

It is for this reason that we are recognizing great personalities at the national and international level in the promotion of Peace, also standing out for their ethical and moral actions, for tirelessly fighting for the ideals and interests of society and Mexico.



The 2020 Mexico Peace Awards ARE A GREAT COMMITMENT TO HONOR THE WINNERS; BECAUSE FROM NOW ON AND AS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING, they must continue working hard to promote peace and continue sowing the seeds of human ethics.

Congratulations!!!!

The 2020 Comnapaz Mexico Peace Awards will be delivered within the framework of the III National Congress of Comnapaz that is held on October 26, 27 and 28 online.

Dear national sections!

I hope that everyone is well and in the best of health!

This pandemic all over the world has infected the work of all of us. As the cultural events and festivals have been cancelled or postponed, CIOFF would like to share through our social media videos of intangible cultural heritage from different countries. Even though we can't present our culture and heritage live during these difficult times, we should still share the beauty and diversity of our cultures.

We would appreciate if every national section could share with us a video presenting intangible cultural heritage that has been recongnized by UNESCO. In addition to the video, a short text explaining the phenomenon and the author/copyrights holder of the video. The video could be of music, dance, handicrafts etc. The text should be in English, Spanish or French.

Please share the videos (through Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive etc) or links of the videos (Youtube, Vimeo etc) and texts to cultural-commission@cioff.org by April 20th.

Thank you for your cooperation!



In the name of the Council, Cultural Commission and PR-team

The CIOFF world folkloriada in Russia - Ufa will not take place in July 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.. but will be organized next year !
