"It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Early Childhood Peace Consortium website. The Consortium was launched on September 2013 at UNICEF headquarters. This is to bring the contribution of science on early childhood development as a path to peace to the international community debate on peacebuilding. It established a network and a unified group of stakeholders around the goal of reducing and preventing violence against children, recognizing the power of investing in the early years to build peaceful societies. The ECPC is founded on the idea that the global community must address the root causes of violence and conflict and that families and children can be agents of change for peace. Join us to build an inclusive movement for peace, social justice and prevention of violence through using early childhood development strategies that enable the world community to advocate peace, security and sustainable development. This is an online resource to help you build with 'blocks of peace' for the children of the world, and I thank you."
OUR MISSION ~ The promise of the ECPC is to join forces with the international community by creating a global movement to build more peaceful homes and societies, drawing on the experience of early childhood development and the transformative power of children and families, pillared by science- and practice-based evidence.
