EPU Tube Finished Today.

As of June 30th 2010 EPU Tube is now completed!

Thanks to all of you who watched and subscribed! More Peace videos will be made by us in the future, just search the names of all the great people involved and visit EPU's website and go if you can!

EPU Tube was a pilot programmed made by students of the European Peace University in Fall 2008. Passwords and documentation are with the EPU Admin now, so hopefully it continues in the future with the new EPU-Private University.

May peace be with you all!
