About Us Peace Education for a Better Tomorrow

What is Peace Education? UNESCO defines peace education as education for non-violence and peace, which includes training, skills, and information designed to foster a culture of peace grounded in human rights principles. At Learn Peace Canada, we’re dedicated to exploring how inclusive learning, peace education, global citizenship, and human rights leadership can work together to develop leaders who promote dignity, justice, and belonging in every community. These interconnected elements—inclusive learning, peace education, global citizenship, and servant leadership—inform our program development, partnership cultivation, and support of learners on their paths. We believe that: · Every learner has a role in advancing peace and justice. · Learning spaces can model the peaceful, inclusive societies we aspire to create. · Leadership is most impactful when it serves, uplifts, and fosters shared responsibility. As we confront complex global challenges, the focus is not just on whether we will educate the next generation of leaders, but rather on what kind of leaders we will help shape for a better tomorrow. Learn Peace Canada is committed to nurturing inclusive, peace-building global citizens who teach peace and lead with empathy, courage, and a profound sense of service.

To build and sustain a universal understanding of peace education for a better tomorrow, we aim to teach peace by fostering harmony within oneself, with family, and throughout the community. In doing so, we promote global citizenship and human rights leadership.

We collaborate to empower individuals through peace education for a better tomorrow, fostering global citizenship and human rights leadership. Our aim is to establish positive peace within individuals and communities around the globe as we strive to teach peace.

Compassionate action and empathy are fundamental elements of global citizenship, as they promote diversity, equity, and inclusion while creating a safe space of belonging. Upholding human dignity through collaboration is essential for effective human rights leadership. By focusing on sustainability and innovative approaches, we can foster transformational learning and peace education for a better tomorrow. It's crucial to teach peace so that future generations can thrive.

We aim to collaborate in co-developing peace education tools and resources that effectively teach peace to youth, educators, educational institutions, community organizations, and their members, along with other key stakeholders. By offering leadership development opportunities in human rights leadership, we strive to enhance understanding of global citizenship and cultivate competencies centered around positive peace. This initiative ultimately contributes to peace education for a better tomorrow.
