About [Edit]
Pathways To Peace [PTP] is an international PeaceBuilding, Educational and Consulting organization.
Mission
The mission of Pathways To Peace is threefold:-- to expand the comprehension and substantive expression of "PEACE" and PeaceBuilding practices at all levels;
-- to build Cultures of Peace by uniting and enhancing the strengths of existing organizations and programs along eight paths to Peace;
-- to contribute, through consultation and direct participation, to the evolving mission of the United Nations and to citizens` worldwide participation in the International Day of Peace.
The mission of Pathways To Peace is accomplished through its projects and consulting services. Current projects which demonstrate the practical aspects of Peace include: Culture of Peace Initiative, Institute for PeaceBuilding, The Joan Kenley Show, Events with Peace Leaders and PTP Consulting & Mentoring Programme.
What we do
Pathways To Peace works locally and globally to accomplish its mission. One of the ways in which we build Peace is by collaborating with other organizations in various initiatives. Pathways To Peace is also an active participant in conferences at the United Nations, where we speak about the principles and practices of Peacebuilding.Current projects and services include:
Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI) - On a global scale, PTP serves as International Secretariat for the Culture of Peace Initiative, (formerly,"We The Peoples" Initiative), a multicultural, intergenerational, citizens movement of established groups and organisations cooperating to build a Culture of Peace and to make Peace a practical reality in the 21st Century. Granted official "Peace Messenger Initiative" status by the U.N., this PeaceBuilding Initiative contributes to the evolving mission of the U.N. and to the direct participation of young people in strategic decisions affecting the quality of life for the children of this and future generations. International Peace Day (Peace Day) September 21st is the annual period for Participating Organisations to highlight local/global progress towards Peace along diverse paths. Join the Culture of Peace Initiative's WiserEarth group.
- Peacebuilding Through Business (PTB)
- PACEM - Pathways Consulting, Educating & Mentoring
IPB works with schools, communities and organizations to offer new ways of resolving conflicts and building long-term conflict prevention.
- Events with Peace Leaders
- "The Joan Kenley Show" Dr. Joan Kenley hosts this show on pod casts. The show is designed to touch your mind, body, heart and soul.
"Peace," as defined by Pathways To Peace, is both an innate state of being and a dynamic, evolving process. Peace begins with ourselves; living in harmony with one another, the Earth, and all Circles of Life. PTP’s operating principle-in-action is:
"Acting in concert, we do make a difference in the quality of our lives, our institutions, our environment and our planetary future. Through cooperation, we manifest the essential spirit that unites us amidst our diverse ways."
PTP has Consultative Status with the United Nations (ECOSOC), (DPI). PTP was granted official UN Peace Messenger status in 1987.
