An Introduction
What is Peace Education?
UNESCO defines peace education as education for non-violence and peace includes training, skills and information directed towards cultivating a culture of peace based on human rights principles.
At Learn Peace Canada, we’re exploring how inclusive learning, peace education, global citizenship, and servant leadership can work together to form leaders who build dignity, justice, and belonging in every space they enter. Inclusive learning, peace education, global citizenship, and servant leadership are not separate initiatives; they are interconnected commitments. Together, they shape how we design programs, cultivate partnerships, and accompany learners on their journeys.
We believe that:
· Every learner has a role to play in advancing peace and justice.
· Learning spaces can be models of the peaceful, inclusive societies we hope to build.
· Leadership is most powerful when it serves, uplifts, and shares responsibility.
As we face complex global challenges, the question is not whether we will educate the next generation of leaders—it is what kind of leaders we will help shape.
Learn Peace Canada is committed to nurturing inclusive, peace-building, global citizens who
lead with empathy, courage, and a deep sense of service

Empowering girls through sports
Tamara,
I want to express my deepest gratitude for the incredibly impactful session you had with our U15 Softball team. Your teachings on strength, leadership, and inclusiveness will be transformative in the young women’s lives that you collided with that day. It's breathtaking to see how you interact with your audience when driving the importance of inner strength, standing tall in adversity, and believing in one's abilities.
But what truly set the day apart was your unwavering commitment to fostering leadership and inclusiveness. You created a safe space where every athlete's voice was heard and valued, regardless of what they wanted to share. You taught them the power of collaboration and how they can achieve great things by working together. Your emphasis on inclusiveness taught the importance of empathy, understanding, and appreciating the skills and perspectives of others, which will not only shape them as athletes and great team mates but also to shape them as community leaders of the future and world!
Thank you for creating such an amazing experience. It was everything I imagined and our young athletes (including their parents) thoroughly enjoyed your company.
All the best,
Jeff Purdy
U15 Team Manager"
