In 1971, a group that decided to do educational and practical work for justice and human rights embarked on an experiment in fostering solidarity and moral values. Although based on Christian beliefs, the project did not exclude any other idea or any other person. The JOHN XXIII Peace Laboratory was born.
The Peace Laboratory of Malta is a living practical example of the role that a non-governmental, voluntary organization can play in shaping the conscience and opinion of the majority. It incorporates a group of people who have a similar philosophy of life.
