Conceptualizing Peace

Conceptualizing Peace is a collaborative network of institutions, educators, practitioners, and individuals dedicated to enhancing peace education opportunities. We believe that education is a powerful catalyst for promoting peace, understanding, and collective action to tackle global challenges.

Focusing primarily on higher education, Conceptualizing Peace acknowledges the critical role universities and colleges play in shaping future leaders. By engaging students, faculty, and academic institutions, we strive to foster an environment that encourages critical thinking, empathy, and social responsibility.
