In August 2003 the NWIP was asked to give a presentation of our methods and results to researchers and activists from Physicians for Global Survival and McMaster University. It was the first time the project was to present our results and strategy to an audience and not train university students and have awareness raising discussions. The workshop was a great experience. It was a true challenge for us to formulate our ideas to a knowledgeable and critical audience and through that process further develop the project. During my stay in Canada the project was also presented to medical students in Victoria and I was asked to be a respondent to the keynote speaker in Hamilton on Hiroshima Day. The stay in Canada did not only provide plenty of opportunities for the project to be brought to the attention of students and activists. It also gave us many ideas of how the project could be improved and it started the process of incorporating the ideas of Peace Through Health in the NWIP, which we have worked with ever since.
