The Children's Global Peace Project is a non-profit organization that is building global classroom connections, shared experience, and understanding between children. It is an organization that helps children realize their own value and experience inner peace, so they can value and understand each other and create a global community based upon acceptance, open communication, cooperation and creativity.

Our Mission is to empower children with the tools for creating peace through better communication and greater cultural understanding.

Why This Work Is Important

Education in many communities throughout the world is primarily focused on academic studies with little to no emphasis on teaching the social, emotional, and critical thinking skills necessary to navigate life events and challenges from a global and peaceful perspective. Given the current state of the world with its cultural misunderstandings, military conflicts, struggle over natural resources, global warming, and poor living conditions, it is imperative that all children be taught how to adopt a world view of being a Global Citizen. Children’s Global Peace Project provides children with communication tools, social skills, and resources that promote greater inner peace, enhanced cooperation and greater cultural understanding. The program is dedicated to empowering schools, teachers, and children to co-create the peace education curriculum that best supports their needs, and to establishing global classroom connections that continue year after year.


“If we are to reach real peace in the world,
We shall have to begin with the children.
And if they will grow up in their natural innocence,
We won’t have to struggle,
We won’t have to pass fruitless ideal resolution,
But we shall go from love to love and peace to peace.
Until at last all the corners of the world are covered.
With that peace and love for which consciously or unconsciously
The whole world is hungering.”
 
-- Mahatma Gandhi
