The PeaceTest -project measures attitudes towards violence, war, conflict resolution, human rights and ethnic differences. The aim of the project is to raise awareness and open discussion on these topics. We hope to provoke people to question the arguments used for resorting to violent or discriminatory actions, and to think of peaceful alternatives.

After filling in the PeaceTest questionnaire, the students in schools and universities discuss the questions and themes together with the specially trained medical students that conduct the survey. The results of the survey can also be used in information campaigns and reported at seminars and conferences. Articles about the findings have been published in international scientific publications

The PeaceTest project was started in 1998 with seven participating countries. Since then, around 20 countries have participated. The project is coordinated by the Finnish Medical Students' International Committee and the International Federation of Medical Students' Association.
