We invite you...
...from around the world to imagine what “peace” and “a culture of peace” can be and to make it real in the world. The impressions you contribute to this site can help begin a process of dialogue and exploration in communities local and global.
At a practical, day-to-day level, what does a "culture of peace" look like?
- Select a specific current or recent incident or situation of violence or
conflict in your family, school, community, state, nation, or the world.
Then, describe and/or illustrate and/or demonstrate: (a) the root causes of
that incident or situation, and (b) a positive vision of how it might be
resolved, or have been avoided to begin with, in a culture of peace.
- Alternatively, describe and/or illustrate and/or demonstrate more
generally what a culture of peace would look and feel like in your family,
school, community, state, nation, or the world.
Submit your impressions in a textual or visual art form of your choice, for
example:
- Letter to a parent, friend, government official, or newspaper
- Letter to future self from the present, or to present self from the
future
- Essay, poem, drama script, song, or short story
- Painting, collage, photo journal, sculpture, or animation
- Report (text or photo journal) of experiences with a personal or group
practice or community project demonstrating the selected incident in a
culture of peace.
NOTE: If you are under 13 years of age, you will need the permission of your parent or guardian to post content on this web site.

About the logo for Imagine a Culture of Peace
 Craig Kosak, graphic designer -- "Designed with a youthful audience in mind, the
logo for Imagine a Culture of Peace evokes a vibrant and playful energy. Bright,
yet harmonious colors are inspired by the intensity of effort involved in the
project while the words and images, moving from sphere to sphere draw the eye
along a spirited path recalling the feeling of a lighthearted journey. This path
begins with an image of the earth, signifying the vast global nature of this
work, and ends with an olive branch reducing the scale of the worldwide effort
to the scope of each individual’s contribution."
