In the face of a menacing dragon, a human figure holds aloft an open book, a reminder that education is the first line of defense against humanity's most serious global challenges.
peace literacy is survival literacy
In the effort to create a more peaceful and just world, the immensity of the task can feel overwhelming. Trauma, rage, mistrust, alienation—and the unjust systems they fuel—are the dragons we face as we struggle to overcome our national and global problems.
But we don't have to face these challenges alone. Together we can build strong communities. We can become better trained. We can level up.
what we do
Building on West Point’s world-class leadership training and the disciplined vision of Civil Rights leaders,
we educate people to be as well-trained in waging peace as soldiers are in waging war.
what's new in peace literacy!
"Peace Literacy has the capacity to repair our broken parts and create a nonviolent world anchored in dignity, meaning, purpose, and compassion for all. Given the crucial role that Peace Literacy can play, I support the recognition of education in Peace Literacy as a universal human right."
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 1931-2021
Humanity can no longer settle for peace as an abstract concept or sentimental wish.
