“In the end however, this transformation is contingent upon each one of us. In everything we do, in everything we say, and in every thought we have, there is the opportunity to create The Culture of Peace. Let us work each day to realize this. Let us choose strategies that require us to face each other with tolerance and mutual respect, viewing each other as fellow global citizens. Let us endeavor to build an inclusive world that respects and cherishes individuals and group differences. And, let us commit our efforts and resources to raise our children to be the agents of The Culture of Peace.”

The ECPC was established to grow a global movement for peace, social justice and prevention of violence through using evidence-informed strategies to enable the world community to advance peace, security and sustainable development.
