the need is urgent.

the time is now.

The Global Peace Education Network has joined forces with grassroots change-makers and renowned peace-builders to launch a global mobilization for peace education.

This is a working summit that will not only craft a bold strategy to unite, empower, and inspire peace educators worldwide, but also equip them with proven peace-building tools for implementation across the globe within weeks, not years.


Amid escalating conflicts and climate crises, the summit will highlight the crucial role of peace education in promoting human security, institutional integrity, sustainability, and enhancing personal well-being and peace at the individual level. This will enable better decision-making that benefits families, communities, and nations alike.

 

The two-day conference is structured for all delegates to join specialized-topic grassroots action groups, where they will ranslate them into tangible actions.


This summit will sharpen the focus on this practical implementation while also advocating for an official United Nations Day dedicated to Peace Education, ensuring an annual global reminder of its importance. This event marks the first of GPEN’s series of live global summits on peace education. 


After the event, the summit proceedings will be professionally produced, promoted to millions via social media, and streamed globally. The summit will also be documented for potential television and theatrical release, alongside a series of interactive learning labs to extend its impact.
