There is a critical need to provide peace education as content knowledge in an effort to equip our students with a repertoire of positive strategies that will enable them to make better choices when conflicts seem unavoidable and to respond positively to their current, often negative, circumstances. There is a great need to enhance the current K-12 curriculum. The National Association for Peace Education may be instrumental in providing an essential tool to strengthen the fiber of K-12 schools in the city, region and beyond. condense text

Message from the President...
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The dedication and zeal for ideals in civility and peace is reflected in our membership, in our reputation, in our profile, and more so reflected in the role that we play in terms of advancing our mission. One of our main goals as an organization is to help mentor young men and women to aspire to be leaders and hopefully support the belief in that barriers are only those that we create and allow to inhibit us.
This year our vision takes us beyond the seas and our boundaries. From the perspective of the last one decade of our existence, we need not wonder whether those pioneers of the of our organization did not have dreamed that their passion would literally spread around the world and, with major advances in communications, eventually transform our planet into what Canadian Marshall McLuhan first called the "global village" and what we envision as a “global family".
