1. Our Definition of Peace:
Peace is the ability to respect differences within our diverse global community,
transcending the sovereignty of nations. Peace ensures human dignity and guarantees
humanity is preserved for future generations. It is not just the absence of conflict,
but also the prevalence of justice.
ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN:
In a world filled with violence, terrorism and injustice, to many the
idea of peace has become merely just a vision as these unsettling
acts continue to affect innocent people in communities around the
globe. Violence serves as a reminder of how relevant and necessary
peace is in today’s society.
For that reason, the Peace is Possible campaign seeks to foster
an environment where shared collaboration and open dialogue
occur between all sectors of society, making peace more than just
a vision — but a possibility. The campaign mobilizes young people
worldwide to create awareness, advocate, take action and commit
to an everlasting world peace. The worldwide adoption of the
Global Goals for Sustainable Development is just one step toward
achieving this peace. It will take the collaborative effort of active
citizens everywhere, working to advance these 17 goals, to make
peace possible.
CAMPAIGN PURPOSE:
The purpose of the campaign is to mobilize young people
worldwide to create awareness, advocate, take action and commit
to an everlasting world peace.
–AND–
Build a coalition of like-minded stakeholders from all sectors of
society that are committed to the purpose.
