ECPC Pledge to Action for Peace

ECPC Pledge to Action for Peace

How we nurture and care for, teach and protect all our children matters, from generation to generation. 

Introduction

The promise of ECPC is to bring on the path to peace and development, the experience of early childhood development. This can be accomplished by linking emerging knowledge from biobehavior and environment sciences with existing scientific evidence, increasing investment in and advocating for the creation of local and sustainable programs as well as policies and systems for peacebuilding and the reduction of violence, through early childhood development programs.

We have the science, the knowledge, technology, and experience to build a world without violence. What we need is an unfailing vision and an unwavering commitment by the global community, as well as a strong partnership for and with children and their families.

There is no better time than now to unite our strengths to erect the building blocks of a peaceful future for all children. Let us raise children to be global citizens and drivers of the culture of peace!

Be part of this global movement and join the ECPC Pledge to Action for Peace!
