Goal to achieve peace

Three-step Process to Understand Peace

Human development and internal peace.

1. Defining what peace is for different people and identifying a common vision.

2. The problem, is what we can learn from all mistakes and conflicts. Confronting our limitations and inner resentment not only on a personal level but also on a social and historical level.

3. Implication to view the world from a peace perspective. Education, on how to understand peace and to make it into a useful tool to overcome fear and hostility. Strengthen culture and the social movement promoting peaceful collaboration.

World Peace Academy is a project that will follow up on the discussion on peace and human development. We welcome all perspectives with the aim to explore what we as human beings ultimately have in common. By learning from each other we can strengthen the agenda to create a culture of peace. This is important for each person, within each family and each community. We need to define what peace means, what are their obstacles and how to overcome them.

This is of concern not only for the people in government but also for all human beings. So, as well as in all aspects of life, for all of us as we live our lives and try to make a better world. By succeeding we can be happier and have peace in the world.
