Conference Mission

The primary goal of the conference is to contribute to the worldwide efforts to create a civilization of peace. Essential to this undertaking is life-long peace education at home, in schools, and in the community, with its focus on the integral role of all members of society—children, youth, and adults—and with the equal participation of women and men in the administration of human affairs. Through the sharing of advanced research findings and proven effective strategies for creating peace at all levels of human society and interactions, the conference offers the participants the opportunity to explore ways of creating environments families, schools, and communities—built on the foundations of a culture of peace, a culture of healing, and a culture of excellence: the three requisites of a civilization of peace.
