Dayton: A Peace Process (DAPP)Dayton: A Peace Process (DAPP) is an outgrowth of the Dayton Peace Accords effort and will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Dayton Peace Accords during October and November 2005. DAPP will offer events focused on cultural, educational and religious activities that bring together individuals from around the world. An extensive policy initiative will explore issues around the peace process. The Dayton Peace Accords represented one of the most important international endeavors for peace in a conflict that had global implications.

It represents a significant way in which the Dayton community can continue to celebrate and highlight its involvement in bringing together the diverse ethnic and racial groups of the Balkans region.
