About Us
Our Purpose
To build a culture of peace on a healthy planet, the Global Peace Education Network connects peace educators and communities, advocates peace education policies and programs, and campaigns for an official United Nations Global Peace Education Day.
Campaign for a Global Peace Education Day
While the United Nations has established more than 150 international days for different humanitarian themes, there is no day dedicated solely to peace education. Because peace is central to the UN mission, an official UN day should be declared to promote peace education throughout the world.
Global Peace Education Day Conference
The annual Global Peace Education Day Conference gathers peace advocates and educators, officials and dignitaries, scholars and scientists, civic leaders and clergy, artists and entertainers to showcase practical approaches to sharing peace skills.
Date of next conference: 20th September 2022
